Why Express Coding?

Express Coding is about removing friction between your ideas and live web applications. Built on open standards (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, JSON), Docly makes development fast for humans — and even faster for AI.

What is Express Coding?

Express Coding is the core philosophy behind Docly™ — a cloud-native development platform designed for speed, simplicity, and instant deployment. The time from idea to live application is dramatically reduced compared to traditional development workflows.

From zero to live in minutes — not hours or days.

Why It's So Fast

  • No server setup — Your code runs instantly in the cloud

  • No deployment pipelines — Save a file and it's live

  • No configuration overhead — APIs, templates, and data just work

  • Built-in hosting — No need to provision infrastructure

Create #/API/hello.js, save it, and your endpoint is immediately available at /API/hello. That's Express Coding.

Built on Open Standards

Docly is built entirely on open web standards: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and JSON. These are technologies that have stood the test of time — and that AI models are extremely proficient with.

  • No proprietary formats — Your data is plain JSON files

  • No lock-in — Export and move your projects freely

  • Universal skills — Standard web technologies everyone knows

  • AI-friendly — LLMs excel at HTML/CSS/JS/JSON

AI-Powered Development

Because Docly uses open standards and a simple file-based architecture, AI assistants can read our documentation and build solutions for you. What's efficient for humans is even more efficient for AI.

AI can help you create APIs, design schemas, write templates, and debug issues — all within the Docly ecosystem.

Built-in AI Assistant

Docly comes with a built-in AI assistant that helps you throughout the entire lifecycle — from development to content management.

  • For developers: Get help writing APIs, templates, schemas, and debugging code

  • For content creators: AI assists with writing, editing, and managing content

  • For administrators: Automate repetitive tasks and get smart suggestions

  • Always available: The AI is integrated at every step of your workflow

AI is with you the whole way — from the first line of code to daily content administration.

AI Agent for Cross-Document Work

Docly also includes an AI agent that can work across multiple documents and folders in your workspace. This agent understands the structure of your project and can perform complex tasks that span your entire application.

  • Bulk operations: Update multiple documents at once

  • Content generation: Create related content across folders

  • Refactoring: Reorganize and restructure your project

  • Analysis: Get insights across your entire data set

The AI agent sees the big picture — it can help you manage and evolve your entire application, not just individual files.

Why It's So Safe

Security isn't an afterthought in Docly — it's built into the foundation. Because the platform uses open standards and a managed infrastructure, you get enterprise-grade protection without the complexity.

  • No exposed attack surface — Your code runs in a sandboxed environment

  • Built-in authentication — Two-factor auth, OAuth 2.0, and secure token handling included

  • Automatic security updates — Infrastructure is continuously patched and monitored

  • GDPR compliant — Data protection and privacy built into the platform

  • Encrypted data transmission — All communication secured with modern protocols

You don't need to be a security expert to build secure applications. Docly handles the hard parts so you can focus on building features.
