Editing Oracle Application Express (section)

==Low-code environment==
Oracle APEX is a low-code development platform, a type of environment that can trace their origins to [[fourth-generation programming language]]s and [[rapid application development]] (RAD) tools.

APEX allows users to build [[web application]]s with a "[[No-code development platform|no code]]" graphical user interface. However, when the requirements are more complex, APEX allows the extension of the low-code objects through a declarative framework. This framework lets the developer define custom logic, business rules, and user interfaces. The developer can do this through the inclusion of [[SQL injection|SQL]], [[PL/SQL]], [[HTML]], [[JavaScript]], or [[CSS]] as well as APEX plug-ins.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://blogs.oracle.com/oraclemagazine/from-low-code-to-high-control|title=From Low Code to High Control|last=Kallman|first=Joel|access-date=2017-11-27}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://apex.oracle.com/lowcode/|title=Low Code with Oracle Application Express|website=apex.oracle.com|access-date=2017-11-27}}</ref>
