Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use kandi as part of my application development and migration activities for our e-Commerce website. We extensively use Magento, WordPress, and other open source technologies to run our business. They require multiple libraries for adding capabilities or migrating to newer versions. Hence we need to look for such libraries and kandi is a great place to find libraries and code snippets in one place.

Pros

  • Finding code snippets to solve a problem
  • Finding functional libraries and dependent libraries
  • Shortlist libraries based on license and other factors like security and quality

Cons

  • There can be more kandi kits in multiple areas
  • Sandbox to try the code snippets

Most Important Features

  • Find code snippets
  • Find Libraries
  • kandi X-Ray

Return on Investment

  • Reduced development and testing effort
