LANSA’s unique single language concept insulates developers from worrying about browser, mobile and server compatibility, allowing them to focus on building applications with the advantage of low-code simplicity when you can and full-code business logic when you need it. LANSA incorporates an integrated meta-data repository and business rules engine to protect data integrity and reduce application development and support effort. LANSA has an application framework which provides the architecture, infrastructure and plumbing code of a pre-built commercial business application. Its zero-code prototyping tool, which includes built-in security, navigation and flexible searching, is a ‘living’ prototype because it evolves into a finished application as real components are snapped into it. The framework provides a desktop-style user experience in the browser that enables users to work on multiple tasks concurrently and switch between them easily and seamlessly.  ![Visual LANSA](https://images.g2crowd.com/uploads/product/image/large_detail/large_detail_ec7ae9265e34735b40351925ffda7737/visual-lansa-ide.png "Visual LANSA") Visual LANSA Discussions Most CommentedMost HelpfulCommon QuestionsNewest Showing **1** discussion ![Pinned by G2 as a common question](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Pinned by G2 as a common question") G2 Pinned by G2 as a common question • about 3 years ago More Options - Share [![linkedin](/assets/social-logos/linkedin-afe65e46604a5bd5105ab9c856116204040b6b3f2b2d42562fc8071ca0c48ca0.svg "linkedin")](https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&summary=What+is+Visual+LANSA+used+for%3F&title=What+is+Visual+LANSA+used+for%3F&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.g2.com%2Fdiscussions%2Fwhat-is-visual-lansa-used-for) [![twitter](/assets/social-logos/twitter-61aaec80434c71387b8f7326e480592eae71c0a65afd051d66fce9b75a9bf417.svg "twitter")](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=What+is+Visual+LANSA+used+for%3F&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.g2.com%2Fdiscussions%2Fwhat-is-visual-lansa-used-for&via=G2dotcom) [![facebook](/assets/social-logos/facebook-350d0b410d6b10debcf893050e803a8633d53561aa42807b087b8daf9be3668f.svg "facebook")](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.g2.com%2Fdiscussions%2Fwhat-is-visual-lansa-used-for) [![gmail](/assets/social-logos/gmail-6db42f21e7c254fae201b112bef0dd15d25223a5cbb32691ce80eab43761eadf.svg "gmail")](https://mail.google.com/mail/?view=cm&fs=1&tf=1&to=&su=What+is+Visual+LANSA+used+for%3F&body=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.g2.com%2Fdiscussions%2Fwhat-is-visual-lansa-used-for%0aWhat+is+Visual+LANSA+used+for%3F) [![mail](/assets/social-logos/mail-d55c53b04bf49872e40cd2443b85a99caa23394e6cf154ae32a9d08377c15d86.svg "mail")](mailto:?subject=What+is+Visual+LANSA+used+for%3F&body=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.g2.com%2Fdiscussions%2Fwhat-is-visual-lansa-used-for%0aWhat+is+Visual+LANSA+used+for%3F) - Copy link - [ ## What is Visual LANSA used for? ](/discussions/what-is-visual-lansa-used-for) What is Visual LANSA used for?
