Skyve

Skyve is an open-source low-code platform for building secure, scalable enterprise applications. Rather than generating large amounts of code, applications are described in concise XML metadata, and the platform interprets those declarations at runtime to enforce security, render user interfaces, manage persistence and evolve the database schema.

Security is declarative: permissions are set per document with role-based create, read, update and delete rules and row-level scoping, and are enforced across persistence, queries and the UI. REST and UI responses only include fields a user may see, unpermitted input is ignored, access paths are computed from roles, and REST access is blocked unless it has been explicitly allowed. The whole metadata model is validated statically on every build.

This repository is the Java implementation of the Skyve framework specification, with Maven commands for creating, building and updating projects and a tutorial, user guide, development guide and cookbook. The project presents the metadata approach as well suited to AI-assisted development, and it is licensed under LGPL-2.1.
