Rationale
Rio is a low-code framework that allows developers to build web applications using 100% Python, eliminating the need for HTML, CSS, or JavaScript. It offers a drag-and-drop UI builder with pre-built components, supports custom Python code for logic, and provides flexible deployment options. The platform also includes debugging tools and theming capabilities. While it doesn't explicitly mention direct API/database integrations in the same way Retool does (it focuses on Python for backend logic), it implies the ability to connect to data sources through Python. It also has an AI Chatbot example, suggesting AI capabilities.
