Example programs and applications

We're collecting examples here.

Examples of client-side Ceylon

We have three small demo application which illustrate the use of Ceylon in a web browser:

• Solar System Example
• Oscilloscope Example
• Game of Life Example

Examples of full-stack applications

• The Ceylon Web IDE is a great example of how to build a modern web application using Ceylon, making use of Ceylon's HTTP and JSON APIs, and interoperation with native Java libraries. The example even supports deployment to OpenShift.
• The DDDSample demonstrates the use of Ceylon in Java EE.

Simple examples

Learn how to use Ceylon with these Java frameworks:

• Weld and Guice with Ceylon, based on this blog post.

Examples of libraries

The Ceylon SDK includes plenty of good examples of Ceylon code, including:

• ceylon.collection demonstrates some very typical usage of generics.
• ceylon.file demonstrates the use of enumerated types and shows how to wrap a native Java API.
• ceylon.regex is a cross-platform module that demonstrates the use of native declarations and dynamic blocks.
• ceylon.locale is a cross-platform module that demonstrates the use of resource loading.
• ceylon.test demonstrates some very typical usage of the metamodel.
• ceylon.promise demonstrates advanced use of abstraction over function types.
• ceylon.json illustrates a rather cool use of union types.
