What is the difference between the WeChat public platform editing mode and development mode?

Edit mode is simple and practical: it also has its advantages and disadvantages.

The advantages are:

1. It is easy to get started and does not require learning code knowledge.

2. Fast response. Because there is no need to rebuild the server in editing mode.

Disadvantages:

1. There is a 300-word limit for text replies, and the upper limit for keyword replies is 200.

2. The extension function is limited and cannot call the geographical location, API and other information on the network platform.

3. There is no database. If the user has his own website or membership database, he cannot connect and process massive databases.

Advantages of the development model: 1. Network API can be called to query weather, stocks, express delivery, jokes, music and other information

2. Connect to the database. For enterprises, they generally have their own databases, and database docking is not possible in editing mode. Through the development mode, you can achieve perfect connection with the database on your own website and forum.

3. Online mobile payment can be realized. Through secondary development of the development model, mobile payment based on mobile phones can be realized.

4. Users’ reply messages can exceed the 300-word limit.

Disadvantages:

1. It requires some knowledge of code and is difficult to get started. Which model to choose depends on your own business situation and reasonable arrangements.
