Toward Extensible Low-Code Development Platforms

Low-code development has gained significant recognition in industry and academia. However, lack of reusability is inherent to existing low-code development platforms. Based on the literature review and practical evaluation, this paper highlights the importance of platform extensibility. Modern technologies are reviewed, among which the essential components are selected for an extensible and open-source low-code development platform. The challenges of designing platform architecture and developing synchronized editable textual and visual representations are ready for us to take in future directions.
