./juka HelloWorld.juk

Juka API

Juka comes with an API

Download JukaAPI at https://jukalang.com/download

We are using JukaApi for visitors to test their code online: https://jukalang.com/tryonline

Special thanks to mogenius for hosting our API: https://api.jukalang.com

If you would like to help improve the api, feel free to deploy a container at:

Microsoft Azure Function

Upload the package to Azure Web Server Use web deploy to publish Juka (Azure Function) to the cloud.

Including in C# Project

Once you install Juka via NuGet: Install-Package JukaCompiler

You can pass your code as a string to Juka:

new JukaCompiler.Compiler().Go(codeAsString, (isFile: false));

If you want to pass a filename instead of a string, you can run the following command

new JukaCompiler.Compiler().Go(fileName, (isFile: true));

We welcome any contribution! Thank you so much for checking out Juka!
