node-red: Detailed Overview & Metrics
Node-RED is a flow-based development tool for visual programming developed by IBM. It provides a browser-based editor that makes it easy to wire together devices, APIs, and online services. Node-RED allows users to create automation workflows, IoT applications, and data processing tasks using a drag-and-drop interface with a wide range of pre-built nodes for various functionalities.
Compared to traditional programming approaches, Node-RED simplifies the development process by abstracting complex logic into visual flows, making it accessible to users with different levels of programming experience. It is actively maintained with a vibrant community and extensive documentation.
