How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from Java to OCaml 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 OCaml code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from Java to OCaml 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 OCaml
Characteristic | Java | OCaml |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Java uses a C-style syntax with curly braces and semicolons. | OCaml uses a functional programming syntax with pattern matching and indentation. |
Paradigm | Java is primarily an object-oriented programming language. | OCaml is a multi-paradigm language that supports functional, imperative, and object-oriented programming. |
Typing | Java is statically typed, meaning variable types are checked at compile-time. | OCaml is statically typed, but also supports type inference, allowing some type annotations to be omitted. |
Performance | Java is known for its good performance due to its efficient bytecode execution. | OCaml is generally considered to have good performance, especially for numerical and scientific computing. |
Libraries and frameworks | Java has a vast ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, including popular ones like Spring and Hibernate. | OCaml has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to Java, but still has options for web development, database access, and more. |
Community and support | Java has a large and active community with extensive documentation and support resources. | OCaml has a smaller community compared to Java, but still has active forums, mailing lists, and online resources. |
Learning curve | Java has a moderate learning curve, especially for beginners with no prior programming experience. | OCaml has a steeper learning curve, especially for programmers who are not familiar with functional programming concepts. |
