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 flows by connecting nodes that represent different functionalities, enabling rapid prototyping and development of IoT applications, automation workflows, and data processing tasks.
Compared to traditional programming approaches, Node-RED offers a more intuitive and visual way to design applications, making it accessible to users with varying levels of programming experience. It is actively maintained with a vibrant community and a wide range of contributed nodes and integrations.
