STRUCTR - Low-Code Dev. Platform combined with Graph Technology

What is Structr Best Suited For?

• Build Digital Twins:A so-called digital twin is the digital representation of the physical or virtual objects and structures of an organization. Digital Twins model the interrelationships and processes at different levels and phases of the value chain.
• Rapid Application Development: Rapid Application Development is a special form of software application development in which an iterative and very fast approach is taken and progress is made in small steps.
• Silos to Knowledge Graphs: The value of existing databases and software systems can be increased turning them into a Knowledge Graph.

What makes Structr unique: Strong points

The use of graph technology is what makes Structr stand out from other low-code platforms.

• Structr is an integrated low-code development and runtime environment for web-based enterprise applications.
  
  It helps developers to make use of modern technologies like Graph Databases, HTML5, GraphQL/REST, WebSockets and semantic standards like RDF and SKOS.
• All relevant data is stored in a graph database and can be transformed into any form of aggregation using a graph-based schema.
  
  The visualization of the data and program structures as a graph accelerates the development and makes the results easily comprehensible for everyone at any time.
• Originally designed as a content management system, Structr has been continuously developed into an application platform.
  
  Structr is the sum of the experience and best practices collected in many customer projects performed by an experienced team.

What makes Structr stand out: Main advantages

The visualization of the data and program structures as a graph accelerates the development and makes the results easily comprehensible for everyone at any time.

• Built on Graph Technology: The entire definition of an application created with Structr is modeled as a coherent graph and stored in a graph database.

By managing everything - from the data model to the business logic to the user interface - as a graph gives you unprecedented flexibility and speed for queries and while developing applications.

• One Single, Integrated Tool: Download a single file, install and start Structr on your machine or a server, then use a web browser to create and run your web application.

No additional software components like an application or web server are needed to get started. Even the database is integrated and automatically installed when you start Structr for the first time.

• Hassle-free Development with Instant Feedback: No compilation or deployment required, get test feedback immediately while building sophisticated web and mobile applications.

Any component of the application can be modified at any time through a graphical user interface, and all changes to structures and content take effect immediately without costly compilation or deployment.

• Modular Architecture: Use Structr as a REST/GraphQL backend to create micro services or use the full power of the platform with the backend UI.

The administration user interface is only loosely coupled to the backend services which can be talked to via Websocket, JSON/REST or GraphQL.

For optimum flexibility, the graph database is accessed through an independent database driver that supports embedded and remote databases as well as clustering.

There are many reasons to use Structr. More Benefits:

• Open Source with Dual Licensing: The complete source code of the Structr project is published under the GPL/AGPLv3 on GitHub.

For companies with extended requirements regarding functionality and liability, there's a commercial licensing option with support directly from the core developers of Structr.

• Ideal for connected data: Structr is optimized to store and manage any data that looks like a network.

The unique approch to use native graph technology for data, processes and application data enables extremely fast queries, absolutely flexible processes and fully dynamic application components.

• Great connectivity: To get data in and out, Structr comes with a number of data interfaces, protocols and formats.

This enables you to integrate Structr applications into your existing system environment and avoid to have one more island solution.
