WeChat Mini Programs are lightweight applications that can be used directly within WeChat without downloading and installing. Due to its speed and simplicity, more and more enterprises and developers have begun to use WeChat Mini Programs as their main development target. So, what are WeChat applets written in?
WeChat Mini Programs can be written using a variety of programming languages and tools, the most commonly used of which are the JavaScript language and WeChat Mini Program development tools.
JavaScript is a widely used scripting language that can run on multiple platforms and has good cross-platform and compatibility. Both the front-end interface and back-end logic of the WeChat Mini Program can be written in JavaScript .
In addition to the JavaScript language, developers can also use other languages to write WeChat Mini Programs, such as WXML , Vue.js , TypeScript , React , etc. Different development languages have their own advantages and disadvantages, and developers can choose according to their needs and skill levels.
WeChat applets can be written in the following ways:
WeChat Developer Tools: WeChat officially provides an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) called WeChat Developer Tools, which can be used to develop WeChat applets. It supports JavaScript , CSS , and WXML languages for development, and provides functions such as real-time preview, code inspection, and debugging.
Low-code applet creation tools: In addition to the developer tools officially provided by WeChat, there are also some low-code creation tools that can be used to develop WeChat applets, usually using applet templates. These tools usually provide more flexible visual editors, which are suitable for corporate users who efficiently develop small programs.
Regardless of whether you use the official developer tools provided by WeChat or the low-code production tools, you need to register a WeChat Mini Program account in order to develop and publish WeChat Mini Programs.
