ballerina is a general purpose, concurrent and strongly typed programming language with both textual and graphical syntaxes, optimized for integration. coupled with the wso2 integration cloud, ballerina can meet your integration and mashup needs in the cloud.
flexible
you can build your integrations from sequence diagrams, or write code in the ballerina language or swagger. you can also use plugins to write ballerina code in intellij idea, vim, and more. ballerina is open source, so you can see exactly how it works and join the growing community of users contributing to its code base. and its api allows you to leverage its functionality from other programs.
powerful
the ballerina language was designed from the ground up specifically for integration and can handle everything from a simple hello world program to complex service chaining and contentbased routing scenarios. it comes with native support for rest, swagger, json, and xml, and it includes connectors for popular services like twitter and facebook. the runtime is lightweight and incredibly fast, and you can run it alone without the development tools in a production environment.
beautiful
the ballerina composer allows you to easily draw your integration scenario and all the components that need to interact by dragging and dropping elements onto a canvas. as you create the diagram, the integration code is written for you, and at any time you can switch to the source view to see and modify the code. the ballerina language syntax was modeled after the best practices of popular languages, so it's intuitive and easy to work with.
