Edit/view source code textually or graphically as sequence diagrams and flowcharts
Built-in, easy and efficient concurrency with sequence diagrams and safety primitives
Developed by WSO2 since 2016 and first released in February 2022
Ballerina fills the Integration Gap
Integration problems have been solved by restricted drag-and-drop tools/DSLs or generic programming languages that don't understand the unique challenges of integrations.
Ballerina is the ONLY programming language designed for integration.
Why Ballerina
Cloud native
Network primitives in the language make it simpler to write services and run them in the cloud.
Flexibly typed
Structural types with support for openness are used both for static typing within a program and for describing service interfaces.
Data oriented
Type-safe, declarative processing of JSON, XML, and tabular data with language-integrated queries.
Graphical
Programs have both a textual syntax and an equivalent graphical form based on sequence diagrams.
Concurrent
Easy and efficient concurrency with sequence diagrams and language-managed threads without the complexity of asynchronous functions.
Reliable, maintainable
Explicit error handling, static types, and concurrency safety, combined with a familiar, readable syntax make programs reliable and maintainable.
