List of low-code development platforms explained

Below is a list of notable low-code development platforms.

Implementations

• AppSheet is a no-code application from Google that offers users the ability to create applications for mobile and web.
• Acceleo is an open-source code generator for Eclipse used to generate any textual language (Java, PHP, Python, etc.) from EMF models defined from any many (UML, SysML, etc.).
• Actifsource is a plugin for Eclipse that allows graphical modelling and model-based code generation using custom templates.
• Appian is an enterprise low-code automation platform for mobile application development. The platform includes a visual interface and pre-built development modules.
• Betty Blocks is a software-as-a-service no-code platform.
• Caspio is a low-code application development platform for creating online databases and web applications.^[1]
• DMS Software Reengineering Toolkit is a system for defining arbitrary domain-specific languages and translating them to other languages.
• Claris FileMaker is a low-code development platform targeting mobile, cloud and on-premise environments.
• GeneXus is a cross-platform, knowledge representation-based development tool mainly oriented to enterprise-class applications for web applications, smart devices, and Microsoft Windows. A developer describes an application in a high-level, mostly declarative language, from which native code is generated for multiple environments.
• Jam.py is a free and open-source development platform for database-driven business web applications, based on DRY principle, with emphasis on CRUD.
• The Maple computer algebra system offers code generators for Fortran, MATLAB, C, and Java. Wolfram Language (Mathematica), and MuPAD have comparable interfaces.
• Microsoft Power Automate (previously known as Microsoft Flow) is a low-code platform used for creating tailored end-to-end process automation.
• OSBP is a software factory provided as open source by the Eclipse Foundation. It combines no-code/low-code elements with classic software development. Coding is largely replaced by a descriptive modeling of the desired software, while allowing developers to integrate their own source code. The applications are intended for professional use in companies.
• Oracle APEX is a simple, proprietary low-code environment from Oracle.
• OutSystems is a low-code platform for omnichannel enterprise application development.
• Salesforce is a low-code platform for enterprise application development, especially CRM and ERP.
• Spring Roo is an open source active code generator for Spring Framework based Java applications. It uses AspectJ mixins to provide separation of concerns during round-trip maintenance.
• Trackvia is a low-code platform first released in 2007.
• UiPath is a low-code/no-code development platform for enterprise automation and robotic process automation (RPA).
• Uniface is a provider of model-driven, low code application development software for developers, enterprises and ISV's.
• WaveMaker is an enterprise low-code platform mainly oriented towards core application development and delivery users. The applications created are largely open-standards-based and the tool can be used to generate code in the background by drag and drop visual development.
