The enterprise does not need another tool that simply generates more code. It needs a way to capture AI’s development speed without transferring the cost into security exposure, governance complexity, and complex maintenance. APEXlang is notable because Oracle is not trying to compete with the leading coding agents. Rather it gives those agents a structured target, then uses the established APEX and Oracle AI Database stack to manage execution, data access, and security. That is a key distinction for Oracle customers.

Introducing the Open Application Definition Language: APEXlang

APEX 26.1 introduces APEXlang, an open, declarative, human-readable specification language for Oracle APEX applications.

APEXlang gives developers and AI agents a supported way to express application intent as structured metadata that can be reviewed, versioned, governed, and executed by APEX.

• Human-readable application definitions
• Version, review, and govern application intent
• A foundation for AI-assisted development

Built on a foundation you can trust

Oracle APEX runs on the Oracle Database, inheriting all of the enterprise-grade security and governance capabilities.  And trusting that your data will be secure is even more important in the age of AI.

Developers build and deploy applications knowing that data access, user management, and application behavior are managed within a consistent, enterprise-ready environment.

Database Security

Oracle APEX is tightly integrated with Oracle Database security features, including encryption, data protection, and hardened infrastructure, ensuring your applications benefit from decades of proven innovation.

Access control

Define exactly who can see and do what with fine-grained control over users, roles, and data access—down to the row and column level when needed.

Auditing

Track and monitor application activity with comprehensive auditing capabilities, giving you visibility into user actions and helping support security reviews and investigations.

Data Isolation

Built on a secure, multi-tenant architecture, Oracle APEX ensures strong separation of data and workloads across applications and users, protecting sensitive information.

Compliance

Support regulatory and organizational requirements with features designed for governance, risk management, and compliance across industries and regions.

Identity Integration

Easily federate with popular identity providers (IdPs) to enable single sign-on and centralized identity management without complex configuration.

Automate workflows based on application logic and data context

Enable users to explore data using natural language

Enhancements across the platform

App Builder

Enhancements across the development experience make Oracle APEX more efficient and intuitive, with features like infinite scroll for LOV and autocomplete fields, a refined Page Designer with improved search and context-rich diff views, and Builder Extension backlinks that enable seamless integration directly into Page Designer or Workflow Designer.

Workflow

Expanded workflow capabilities include support for parallel flows, new APIs for greater extensibility and control, and built-in multi-tenancy awareness to better support complex, scalable application architectures.

Universal Theme

Updates to Universal Theme introduce a refreshed Oracle-branded look and feel, enhanced accessibility, and Font APEX 2.5, along with modern development features like client-side partials, template directives, and improved autocomplete support for a faster, more flexible UI experience.

Security

Security enhancements strengthen how applications connect and operate, with REST datasword flows, along with CSP improvements, stronger Fusion Extensions security, and new workspace-level SMTP controls for better governance and protection

Components

Component enhancements expand what you can build declaratively, with support for buttons and menus, new actions like Show Success and Error, and a built-in Wait Popup, alongside map region improvements including vector tile layer support and greater JavaScript control for richer, more interactive experiences.

Translations

A new message-based translation model simplifies how applications are localized, making it easier to manage and update translations without the need for maintaining shadow applications.
