HTML App builder

Hi,
I want to create a mobile app builder (UI)
Using HTML (& DB of course) for shopify store, or I can say its like a CMS for Mobile App.
Good example is like what wix is doing for websites, I want to do that for my shopify store. I have no idea or need some leads that how should I save my designed screens in html(style/theme) to the database. So, that I can edit it again or make changes in theme dynamically. Thanking in advance.😊

Thanks a-lot Palash for the reference
actually I already made drag & drop functionality
but I don't know how to edit multiple dragged components and save them to database so that I can fetch them and re-render again for further editing

[Palash Bauri 👻]

You can programmatically create XML schema for each component with information such as X,Y,Z coordinates, text, color etc etc and save the data to database.

Again when loading from database you can use a xml parser to tell components where to put themselves , what text or color to put in...

Something like that may work.

But I have to make API for the app to load style , I can't send XML

[Palash Bauri 👻]

Instead of XML you can use JSON

[Navdeep Tanwar]

yea exactly
but question is how to render and save :)

[Palash Bauri 👻]

When you fetching and rendering, you may need to write a parser.
