Building a file reader

A common task for any IT department, or individual developer, is to move data from one location to another. A simple task to do once, but if this must be done many times for many different files (each with its own metadata, file type and data structure), it is a task that can become tedious. Luckily there are many low-code tools that can make this task much more manageable. As an example, Linx allows us to import a file and make the data available elsewhere quickly.

How to call SOAP Services using REST

SOAP, being a mature technology, has an extensive and often differently interpreted standard set. This makes it an excellent tool for corporate users to manipulate data into their precise requirements and technology stack. However, for public consumption, this causes issues that sometimes are difficult or impossible to solve without changing code. A good example here is that SOAP is allowed to define the same type in some standard interpretations in different XSD files.

Microservices: Modernizing the Monolithic Legacy

IT teams are always wanting to build new applications enabling specific functions for the ease of processes or customers. Sometimes, to balance projects, they allow distributed teams to work on focused targets using reusable assets, templates, and best practices. While decentralizing and democratizing application development helps, managing security can be a task for strategizing different Lines of Business (LoBs) and functional business partners. Enter microservices.

Generic Connection to the Microsoft Graph API

Resources Sample File: MicrosoftGraphTemplate.lsoz (65.8 KB) (download) API Reference: More information on the specifics of authentication can be found in the Microsoft Graph API reference documentation. Microsoft offers a RESTful web service named Microsoft Graph API. This tutorial shows you how to integrate with the Microsoft Graph API and Linx, a low-code development tool.

Introducing Linx 6

Seven years ago, we announced Linx 5, a release specifically designed to modernise and commercialise an internal tool we had been using with our enterprise customers for the previous 15 years. By all accounts, Linx 5 was a huge success with our customers and partners. With Linx 6, we’ve built on that success with new features, a streamlined UI, and a new diffable file format – something our customers have been clamouring for.

Building the RealWorld API in Low-code

RealWorld is a popular open-source project known as the mother of all demo apps. It is an exact clone of Medium.com (called Conduit) and can be built using any front-end and back-end. This article will share the journey to replicating the RealWorld REST API (Conduit) from scratch using Linx, a low-code developer tool. All stacks that integrate with Conduit will integrate with the newly created API. Technologies and tools used to develop RealWorld API: Notes
