Beyond low-code

Where to go when data alone is not enough

Everything in this tutorial was done with data: documents, queries and authorizations, applied over HTTP. That is the ceiling of the low-code approach — and there is a door in it. Each layer of LinkedDataHub can be extended without forking it:

  • Layout — write an XSLT stylesheet that imports the system one and overrides only the templates you need. Start with the Change layout guide and the stylesheets reference.
  • Docker and Java — mount files into the stock image, build your own image on top of it, or add JAX-RS endpoints via a WAR overlay. The Build apps guide covers each layer with working build files.
  • More examples — the LinkedDataHub-Apps repository holds the complete Northwind Traders source alongside further demo apps and installable packages.

If you get stuck or build something worth showing, open a thread on GitHub Discussions.
