The generator produces a ready-to-extend Visual Builder project, enabling you to continue enhancing it over time without having to start from scratch.

Using the CX Extension Generator makes it faster to deliver application extensions and new modules. It reduces development effort and reliance on specialized UI skills, while ensuring design consistency across standard and custom features. It also improves agility when responding to evolving business processes as per organization needs and helps lower the cost of modifications and future maintenance.
