Low-code development platform is a development platform based on graphical interface and visual programming technology, aiming to improve the efficiency and quality of software development. It can help developers build applications quickly, reduce the amount of manual writing**, and reduce the development threshold and cost.
If you are not familiar with the low-level development platform, or cannot tell whether the tool you are using is a low-level development platform, then it is recommended that you keep in mind several characteristics of the low-level platform before using it:
1. Graphical interface:
Low** development platforms typically provide a visual interface and components that users can quickly build applications by dragging and dropping, configuring, and more.
2. Visual programming:
The low-level platform usually contains or supports a development environment for visual programming, and supports users to configure business processes through flowcharts, process designers, etc., so as to reduce the workload of writing.
3. Componentization:
Most low-profile development platforms on the market provide ready-to-use reusable component libraries to quickly build applications and improve development efficiency.
4. Custom extension:
If it is a low-level development platform with slightly stronger underlying capabilities, it usually supports user-defined functions and extensions, such as providing custom components, custom fields, custom views, custom pages, custom APIs and other functions when existing components, fields, and views cannot be satisfied, so that users can extend and customize applications according to their needs.
5. Strong integration ability
Integration capability is also one of the characteristics of the low-quality development platform, usually, the platform provides API functions, which support integration with existing systems and databases, and can also be connected to third-party communication platforms such as enterprise WeChat, DingTalk, Feishu, etc., to reproduce the existing organizational structure of the enterprise, and improve the business process of the enterprise to achieve data sharing and interaction.
Therefore, on the whole, the advantages of the low-** development platform are also very obvious. It can help enterprise users improve development efficiency and quality, reduce development thresholds and costs, and shorten the time to market of applications.
People who don't know how to develop can also use the low** development platform.
The low** development platform is designed to enable people who don't know how to develop to build applications quickly. Through the visual interface and graphical programming, users can quickly build applications without having to know how to write and run. In addition, the low-development platform offers a range of pre-made templates and components that users can choose and configure according to their needs, without having to write them from scratch. Therefore, people who don't know how to develop can also use low** development platforms to build some lightweight applications, such as OA, CRM, task management, performance appraisal, project management, etc.
However, although the low-level development platform can allow people who do not know how to develop to develop applications, it is limited to simple applications. If it is a slightly complex business scenario, such as ERP, MES, PLM, etc., because the business logic of these systems is complex enough, it is still necessary to rely on professional developers to develop, and add appropriate writing to implement specific interactions and functions in the form of scripts. In addition, when it comes to data docking and data migration, professional developers also need to develop interfaces.
Therefore, to sum up, the low ** support allows business personnel who do not understand development to realize the development of business systems in simple scenarios.
In complex scenarios, it is still necessary to let professional developers come out and develop with a small number of ** and standardized components that can be consumed. Improve development efficiency and reduce development time.
The rational and effective use of the low-level development platform not only allows us to work efficiently, but also ensures the achievement of the team's goals to the greatest extent. Based on the data model-first design concept, the Zhixin Informat enterprise-level low** development platform provides a large number of standardized components, and also has built-in automation (a self-developed set of graphical programming), scripts, and workflow engines (BPMN2.).0), custom APIs, custom components, custom icons, custom pages, dashboards and other functions can help enterprises build highly complex core business systems. For example, ERP, PLM, MES, SCM, WMS, OMS, EMS, projects, enterprise services and other application scenarios comprehensively help enterprises achieve their digital transformation strategic goals.
