Mendix vs JEECG comparison

Preface

For this comparative analysis, we first searched for information on the Internet and conducted an analysis. Although the information was rich, many of them were repeated or not what we wanted. There are relatively few things that I really want to know about. The official website provides detailed documents for viewing. Many of them are very detailed, but it is too cumbersome to quickly understand them, so I use ------ tables. Comparative method, conduct a comparative analysis. Then based on the online introduction and the official website's explanation, I conducted an analysis and comparison with my own understanding. At present, these two platforms each have their own characteristics, advantages and corresponding disadvantages. In fact, in general, the biggest difference lies in whether it is used by professional developers or business personnel. This is the biggest difference between them (of course the JEECG platform also has many basic functions, which business personnel can also use normally. I am talking about the Online module here). After searching for information and documents, I have come to this conclusion. Of course, there are many differences. In fact, those differences are designed and implemented based on this difference. ----------Of course this is just my personal opinion.

advantage	1. Integrated design, full-stack development 2. Powerful page generation capabilities 3. Can be implemented without professional developers	1. The technology stack is active 2. The Online development model is powerful 3. There are many functional modules designed
shortcoming	1. There are certain potential dangers to security. 2. Development efficiency is relatively low. 3. Personalized development still requires the participation of front-end students in packaging components. 4. It is still difficult to connect to other platforms.	1. The project structure is too bloated 2. The code is not clean enough 3. JeecgBoot configuration items are complicated and dazzling, making it difficult for newbies to start.
Data model/interface/model-driven UI	Providing model drive is reflected in three aspects: business data model, UI model and business logic model. These three models are all visual	Can be customized
components	Provides 1. Page components 2. Data export components 3. Various functional components 4. You can also develop and customize them yourself	Custom component
Designer used	Logic Orchestration-Microflow Designer	Form designer, process designer, large screen design, report design, etc.

Microflows: Allowing the expression of an application's logic, microflows can perform operations such as creating and updating objects, displaying pages, and making selections. It is a traditional visual way of ending up in textual program code.

High level contrast

Problem/Platform	Mendix	JEECG
For people	Trained property personnel + some programmers	Programmers who understand development
Applicable companies	There are more medium and small companies. If companies require high security , it is not suitable because the source code is not provided, so this is also a place to consider.	It can be used by large, medium, small and large companies, as well as governments, banks and other institutions that need local deployment.
Secondary development	The platform does not provide source code. Personalized development requires your own customized development, and the cost is relatively high.	Provide source code to facilitate secondary development
template	Provides a wealth of templates, which can be used to build some simple systems, such as portals. Simple ones are still good. It reduces the construction of several layers of logic to a certain extent and reduces the workload.	There are relatively few system templates and they are relatively basic. They are mainly low-code generators and form designers.
Data table configuration	When configuring some forms, a data table is generated, which is relatively simple to operate and can be operated by business personnel with certain training.	Our database is configured in an online form, which requires developers who have a certain knowledge of the database to configure it properly. Configuration is also difficult.
Systematize	The system is divided into sections. You can create a new independent system and integrate the modules you want. It is relatively clear to use.	There is no systematic segmentation, and the relative data is relatively scattered.
data processing	Configuring some data logic through the front-end page is not very secure. However, Mendix provides other relatively high security configurations. I have no way of considering how high this is.	Handle some data logic. For example, the order number, etc. are processed in the code logic, and the logic is rigorous and safe.
system ecology	You can also find someone to do custom development, integration, and deployment of data, so the fees are relatively high.	Our own systems can be deployed independently and the perfect combination of data from different systems (OA, ERP) can be achieved

Comparison summary

Mendix provides relatively more oriented to property personnel. Developers have developed corresponding components and after some basic operation training, it is actually somewhat similar to Microsoft's powerApps. However, Siemens's one is more powerful. You can choose online development or offline development, and offline development has more complete functions. This Siemens software has been around for more than ten years, some bugs have been fixed, and improvements have been made to the user experience.

# Mendix如何支持模型驱动的开发
模型驱动开发（MDD）已经成为实现快速应用程序开发的主要方法之一。由于MDD使用可视化模型来定义应用程序逻辑、流程流和用户界面，因此MDD使开发人员和业务人员都能够快速构建应用程序，而无需进行劳动密集型的低级编码。因此，它比传统的编程语言（如C#和Java）
要快得多。为了让业务人员积极参与应用程序的设计和开发，我们完全采用了可视化MDD方法。MDD提供了一个优秀的沟通机制来协调业务和IT人员之间的“障碍”，从而确保更高的质量和更成功的结果。

# Mendix如何将模型解释优先于代码生成
Mendix 运行时直接执行模型，这意味着模型实际上是应用程序，而不是中介。与可视化建模设计实际生成代码的方法（例如Java或.NET）不同，Mendix的模型解释方法具有许多独特的特性和优势。

# Mendix如何利用微服务，容器和部署标准化
微服务提供的软件架构最适合小型敏捷DevOps团队。 这种体系结构最能从容器的质量中获益。容器使您能够以自动化的方式在任何云中部署应用程序，并确保质量、可重复性和速度。部署标准化使小型DevOps团队能够处理与操作相关的任何事情。

# 无状态在Mendix中是如何运作的
现代Web规模的应用程序利用无状态体系结构作为支持更大的可伸缩性和弹性的手段。无状态性通过允许根据需要轻松添加额外资源来支持不断增加的用户或处理负载，从而支持水平可伸缩性。每个用户请求和每个事务都可以由任何一个可用的运行时实例来处理。如果您的性能需要您处理更多的事务或用户请求，您可以简单地添加另一个运行时实例来解决部分的流程。由于状态是在运行时之外管理的，因此可以通过更容易地将故障从一个运行时实例转移到另一个运行时实例来提高弹性。

# Mendix提供怎样的开放性和可扩展性
开放性是任何现代应用程序平台的基本架构要求，这意味着该平台应允许应用程序轻松共存，且能利用其他应用程序和应用程序服务。这也意味着平台本身应该适合您的IT环境，并支持您的核心开发流程与标准。

#企业功能和非功能需求极难从纯模型驱动的开发方法中处理，可扩展性对于满足企业应用程序的所有实际功能和非功能需求至关重要。如果模型解释不允许您更改生成的代码，则必须具有扩展性才可行。

这三个模型都是可视化，而且它们既可以作为业务需求说明书，也可以作为设计原型，更能直接编译成最终的应用App。
当业务人员和IT开发人员可以更好地基于同一可视化模型进行协同开发时，显然可以大幅提高沟通效率，减少因需求理解偏差造成的重复修改或者质量问题，并大大缩短开发周期。数据驱动下，越早发现数据的价值，其所产生的业务价值就越高，缩短开发周期是至关重要的。

# 可以（相对于其他平台来说还算复杂，但是相对于来说业务流程还不是很复杂）

15. Advantages and Disadvantages


# 优点：

 一体化设计，全栈开发，以数据模型为驱动，可以适用简单页面的开发场景。

强大的 页面生成能力，支持手机，平板，并且提供大量的组件，绑定数据模型，以及前端组件，快速开发页面输出，完全不需要前端同学的开发页面了。只需要前端的同学封装好相应的组件，然后业务人员进行一个简单的培训就可以实现页面的生成应。

调试一体化，对于前端的开发同学，无需要等待后端接口，对于后端的同学，可以快速生成页面调试

部署运维，支持一键部署mendix cloud,当然还支持其它的平台。

# 缺点：

不是专门的为发开同学设计的低代码平台，更多的是倾向于没有开发经验的业务同学，提供开发的能力

实际页面，接口逻辑，也就是所谓的微流建模，其实并没有那么好用，开发效率比较低下，服务化，对接其他的平台都很难。因为都需要一个组件化的开发。

# 建议：

对于简单的页面的开发，是没有什么问题的，对于后端的简单的增删改查，也是完全没有问题的。

大量的组件都是直接和领域模型数据绑定在一起的。当然的这个也是后面的能够优化的点。
