The web application development approaches can be categorized as classic or low-code development approaches. In the thesis, we compared these two approaches. For this purpose, we developed a simple REST application using both methods. For the low-code implementation we used the Oracle Application Express platform (abbreviated as APEX), which we described in detail first, while for the classic (high-code) implementation, we used the programming languages HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. After the presentation of development using both approaches, we compared the development of both applications based on several criteria (approach, learning and required knowledge, error handling, level of customization, development speed, security, execution time, reusability, support, deployment, maintenance, and multi-platform support). We found out the low-code approach is better for developing simple data-focused applications without specific requirements. In contrast, the classic approach is better in other cases.
