[Ballerina](https://ballerina.io/) is a statically typed, open-source, cloud-native programming language developed

and supported by [WSO2](https://wso2.com/).

With Ballerina, you could easily develop microservices, API endpoints and integrations,

and any other application for the cloud. Additionally, Ballerina has all the general-purpose

functionalities you could expect from a modern programming language.

With Ballerina's compiler-level built-in support for widely used data types such

as JSON and XML, your focus on handling structured data, network service interactions,

and dealing with concurrency is made much more effective.

#### Providing and consuming services

It has inherently concurrent first-class language constructs for providing and consuming services.

#### Sequence diagrams

The sequence diagram-based graphical view shows the most fundamental aspect of the semantics of a network-distributed application.

#### Structural typing

It allows for looser coupling between distributed components and eliminates the friction of data binding.

#### Metadata

Extensible metadata enables easy integration of Ballerina programs with cloud platforms.

You could directly generate Docker and Kubernetes artifacts straight away from

the source code.

# highlightjs-ballerina

This repository offers `highlight.js` support for [Ballerina](https://ballerina.io).

## Usage

The first step in setting up syntax highlighting for Ballerina is to set up `highlight.js` library in your webpage or the node app.

### Static website or simple usage

After loading `highlight.js`, load the CDN build of Ballerina located in the `dist` folder.

```html

	hljs.highlightAll();

```

### With node or another build system

If you're using Node / Webpack / Rollup / Browserify, etc., simply require the language module, then register it with Highlight.js.

```js

var hljs = require('highlightjs');

var hljsBallerina = require('@ballerina/highlightjs-ballerina');

hljs.registerLanguage('ballerina', hljsBallerina);

hljs.highlightAll();

```
