What Oracle Visual Builder is
Oracle Visual Builder is a browser-based service for creating and deploying web and progressive web applications with visual development tools. Its builder provides drag-and-drop components, actions, and WYSIWYG interfaces, while developers can refine applications with HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS. Apps can use custom data objects and connect to catalogued or external REST services. Teams working with Oracle Cloud Applications can access business objects and add custom tabs or menu options; extensions can use the same users and roles without a separate login. Oracle describes Visual Builder as a managed development and hosting service with a web server and embedded database for app data. Applications can be published to the cloud for desktop or mobile access. Administrators can require authentication, while developers can set role-based access and business object permissions, including row-level rules for viewing, updating, and deleting. Communication to underlying JET components uses HTTPS and REST. Oracle positions the service for teams extending Oracle Cloud Applications and building web or mobile apps with minimal coding. A 30-day trial is available, but there is no free plan; listed pricing options do not provide plan prices.
