Node-RED is a <a href="/facts/Flow-based_programming/J4SELXwF">flow-based</a>, <a href="/facts/Low-code_development_platform/JEEGmlVl">low-code</a> development tool for <a href="/facts/Visual_programming_language/j0eyIPzU">visual programming</a>, originally developed by <a href="/facts/IBM/QszA7nwd">IBM</a> for wiring together hardware devices, <a href="/facts/Application_programming_interface/GMlN4vUr">APIs</a> and <a href="/facts/Online_services/MSe2Ta87">online services</a> as part of the <a href="/facts/Internet_of_things/rwwGAxn3">Internet of things</a>.
Node-RED provides a <a href="/facts/Web_browser/2pfyymLs">web browser</a>-based flow editor, which can be used to create <a href="/facts/JavaScript/XhhIIEsl">JavaScript</a> functions. Elements of applications can be saved or shared for re-use. The runtime is built on <a href="/facts/Node.js/FKzhV4Qa">Node.js</a>. The flows created in Node-RED are stored using <a href="/facts/JSON/bs1rUAhd">JSON</a>. Since version 0.14, <a href="/facts/MQTT/JltGCjue">MQTT</a> nodes can make properly configured <a href="/facts/Transport_Layer_Security/pGy16TnA">TLS</a> connections.
In 2016, IBM contributed Node-RED as an <a href="/facts/Open-source_software/HzTaB8E9">open source</a> <a href="/facts/OpenJS_Foundation/J9oqdyl4">OpenJS Foundation</a> project.
