Oracle Application Express (APEX) is a low-code web application platform that allows you to work with Oracle databases. Oracle APEX was referred to as HTML DB earlier. Professional applications can be easily and quickly developed with ease and flexibility.
The learning curve for developers is not very steep and does not warrant specialized coders. Oracle APEX is a functional web application development tool that can remove the complexities involved with developing and deploying enterprise-level applications.
By harnessing the advantages of Oracle APEX, developers eliminate the complexity associated with the development of complex applications. This allows them to offer business customers a viable, low-cost, and lightweight application.
To be able to channelize the power of Oracle APEX, select a consultant with the requisite expertise and experience to build your applications. If you are already an Oracle Database user, you don’t incur any additional licensing charges for APEX.
From universities and NGOs to government agencies and large businesses, the features of Oracle APEX provide a safe and robust yet cost-effective application development platform. Strong community support helps in sharing ideas and developmental issues.

Ways to nullify the complexities
The Application Builder of Oracle APEX offers an intuitive interface that facilitates the introduction of several complex functionalities with limited code. Middle-tier application logic, procedure call complexity, mapping between the application and relational objects are eliminated.
Thus, complexity at all layers of the application is reduced. Developers can seamlessly use CSS, JavaScript, and custom HTML code with plugins. But it is not to be mistaken that since Oracle APEX is relatively easy to use, it is lacking in power.
The Oracle APEX architecture provides applications with powerful functionalities that can be used in critical installations. There are several UI patterns for page layouts and navigations. Applications can be optimized for all screen sizes. You can integrate touch gestures.
APEX facilitates team development efforts with feedback and classification of user work. Project management, document handling, bug tracking, and tracking checklists can be easily done with APEX.
If you might want applications running concurrently in several languages, Oracle APEX offers the facility of developing in a primary language and then mapping it to target languages. Development time with Oracle APEX applications is reduced considerably.
Agile development teams can take advantage of application themes and templates to build applications with unsurpassed user experience. This works well when developing prototypes.
Secure platform
The Oracle APEX platform is secure ground up. These security features include several authentications and authorization schemes. With Oracle APEX, you can consolidate all your unsupported and scattered applications and monitor them.
Lighter Code
Oracle APEX offers a low-code browser-based platform for developers to develop data-driven applications. In most cases, there is no need to incorporate remote APIs. The cost of developing Oracle APEX applications is lesser as it consumes lesser resources.
Since it runs in the database itself, it eliminates the need for hundreds of data calls. This makes for the quicker running of the applications. The application is lighter on account of the fewer connections. Since Oracle APEX resides in the database, it obviates the need for middle-tiers.
The complexities associated with database management are also eliminated. With Oracle APEX, you can run several thousand applications off your Oracle database. With reduced code, the loading is faster, even with thousands of users. Oracle APEX runs off your Oracle database and is therefore very fast and faces hardly any data latency.
This makes for efficient usage and costs savings. Oracle APEX facilitates the processing of data and manipulating and charting the data. This data can be accessed from a web service or remote or local databases.
Benefits of having Oracle Apex:
Oracle Apex is used to create complex web applications with most modern web browsers. Refer to the documentation for Oracle Apex Application Express and Oracle Apex for more information.
Oracle Apex is available as a fully managed cloud service and as an Oracle Apex Application Development Service. The application promotion process is a common requirement for many projects related to the Oracle Application Express (APEX) development platform and unique implementations and approaches to projects.
An integrated suite of productivity sample apps that provide point solutions demonstrating key functionalities and supporting APEX features are available for you to try, learn, apply, and experiment. Drop tools, ready-to-install components, processing models are just some of the features of the low-code platform that enable rapid prototyping and deployment of apps in quick time.
In addition, build and version control components can be edited via a web interface. Once we convert the database data into a file, APEX exports it. Because of these amazing functionalities, Oracle Apex was featured in Gartner Peer Insights 2021 as a customer choice in Enterprise Low-Code Application Platforms.
Data and APEX
APEX can be customized for filtering and other complex functions. Reporting can also be customized with Oracle APEX. The interactive reports can be created by complex calculations, aggregates, and saved for either private or group viewing.
These reports can be viewed on any screen and contain charts, forms, and other visualizations. Oracle APEX offers reporting functions on your applications.
Be it a quality control review, debug messages, or a list of recent changes, the utility reports provide you real-time comprehensive information on your applications. Oracle APEX facilitates the development of email, web services, and Internet-based packages.
