Learn about how Xano enables you to build your backend without code
Whether you’re a developer or a no-coder, Xano gives you two powerful ways to visually build backend logic — choose the style that fits your brain. You’re not locked in, either — switch between the different building modes at any time.
Perfect for visual thinkers — see your logic as a story, not just steps.
The Canvas View is a newer visual builder that is designed to be more user-friendly and intuitive. It adopts a well-loved node based view, giving you a more storytelling view of your logic with all of the visual editing capabilities you’ve come to expect without sacrifices.
Ideal for those who love structure -- clean, ordered, and precise
Xano’s original visual builder is called the Function Stack. It’s a hybrid between a traditional code view and a visual builder. It shows you each function in execution order, but in a way that is understandable for non-technical users.
