About amis
amis is an Apache 2.0 licensed front end low code framework from Baidu that generates admin and back office pages from JSON configuration, aimed at teams that want such interfaces without writing front end code by hand.
About VvvebJs
VvvebJs is a drag and drop page builder library written in vanilla JavaScript. It ships without dependencies and without a build step, so the editor runs directly in the browser from a plain HTML file rather than from a compiled bundle. The project lives in the JavaScript ecosystem and sits in the low code and no code tooling space: it is a library and editor surface rather than a finished product, and it is distributed under the Apache 2.0 license.
