A better way to import files and look at Linx

Building a file importer is not hard, but what if you can do it in an extremely short time. In this video, we build a file importer that reads a CSV file and makes the data available via REST API using the new Linx designer. Linx is a low-code development tool built for developers. Linx is a general-purpose platform that has no limitations on the technology it can connect to and uses visual abstractions of programming concepts to make building powerful and complex logic easy and maintainable.

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.
