Integrating Mendix with Xojo Apps: Need Some Guidance

1

Hi everyone,

I’m working on a project where I need to integrate Mendix with Xojo applications, and I’m seeking some guidance from the community. I’ve been exploring the possibilities but could use some advice on the best approach to achieve a seamless integration.

To give you a bit of context:

  • Mendix: I’m using Mendix for its rapid application development capabilities and its powerful low-code features.
  • Xojo: My application is built using Xojo, and I’m looking to leverage Mendix’s capabilities within this environment.

I’m particularly interested in:

  1. Integration Methods: What are the best practices for connecting Mendix with Xojo apps? Are there specific APIs or tools that can facilitate this integration?
  2. Data Flow: How can I ensure smooth data exchange between Mendix and Xojo? Any tips on managing data consistency and synchronization?
  3. Challenges and Solutions: What common challenges might I face, and how can I address them?

I have been through these resources/articles https://documentation.xojo.com/ and Mendix tutorial, however, they are good but I want to learn more from community members.

If you’ve worked on similar integrations or have any resources or tips to share, I’d greatly appreciate your insights!

Thanks a lot for your help :pray:

Best Regards,

Mendix AI Assistance (Maia) brings generative AI-powered capabilities…

They lost me after the initial sentence…
You try to combine crap with crap…

Sorry haven’t got any idea how to do what you’re asking as I’d never heard of Mendix until this post

No Challenges and one solution: use MySQL as underlying Database and you have access with Xojo and Mendix and C#, freebasic and all the other languages. Other forms of Dataflow can be implemented with tcp sockets. So no problem to start with Mendix and Xojo.

Now you only need to pay Xojo and Mendix and you can develop Software for the world

Have never used Mendix for building any apps because I prefer to use Frappe and/or Lowcoder.

But if Mendix supports building REST APIs then you should be easily be able to communicate with Mendix from Xojo app.

The easy way out would be to just embed the app (or page) in Xojo app using the Web Control.
