ローコードLow-code

Learn in the textbookLibraries, APIs, and Low-Code Development

DefinitionLow-code (ローコード) is a development method that builds apps mainly by placing and configuring components on screen, writing a small amount of code only where it is needed.

ExplanationMost screens and process flows can be made by combining ready-made components, so an app takes shape faster than when a program is written from scratch. Processing that the components cannot express can be covered by adding code at that spot.

AnalogyIt is like assembling flat-pack furniture by the instructions and cutting a board yourself only for the shelf that is missing.

Memory hookLow means "little": the code is not zero, just a small amount.
