The Brill Framework allows React web applications to be built quickly using a "Low Code" approach. A Content Management System (CMS) supports editing of pages containing React components. The React components communicate with each other and the Server using a middleware that's based on WebSockets. With a "No Code" solution, there's always something you require that's not support. You spend ages bending the product to your requirements or pay the supplier to provide the components you need. The alternative is a "Full Code" solution using React. This involves a lot of coding and it's not always easy to update content without doing a release. There's the option of using a Headless CMS for the content and but that only increases the amount code required. The Brill Framework provides the best of both worlds. Quick building of the application using a CMS and a set of ready made components, with the ability to add your own React components and server side functionality.
