This free online converter lets you convert code from Java to Erlang in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
- Type or paste your Java code in the input box.
- Click the convert button.
- The resulting Erlang code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from Java to Erlang using this converter. Note that you may not always get the same code since it is generated by an AI language model which is not 100% deterministic and gets updated from time to time.
Example 1 - Is String Palindrome
Program that checks if a string is a palindrome or not.

Key differences between Java and Erlang
Characteristic | Java | Erlang |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Java uses a C-style syntax with curly braces and semicolons. | Erlang uses a Prolog-like syntax with pattern matching and function clauses. |
Paradigm | Java is primarily an object-oriented programming language with support for imperative and procedural programming. | Erlang is a functional programming language with support for concurrent and distributed programming. |
Typing | Java is statically typed, meaning that variable types are checked at compile-time. | Erlang is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are checked at runtime. |
Performance | Java is known for its high performance and efficiency. | Erlang is designed for high concurrency and fault-tolerance rather than raw performance. |
Libraries and frameworks | Java has a vast ecosystem of libraries and frameworks for various purposes. | Erlang has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to Java, but it has strong support for building distributed and fault-tolerant systems. |
Community and support | Java has a large and active community with extensive documentation and support. | Erlang has a smaller but dedicated community with good support from the language creators and community members. |
Learning curve | Java has a moderate learning curve, especially for beginners. | Erlang has a steeper learning curve due to its unique syntax and functional programming concepts. |
