Official Site of the Jolie Programming Language
Jolie crystallises the programming concepts of service-oriented computing as linguistic constructs. The basic building blocks of software are not objects or functions, but rather services that can be relocated and replicated as needed. A composition of services is a service.
Jolie is a contract-first programming language, which puts API design at the forefront. It supports both synchronous and asynchronous communication. Data models are defined by types that support refinement (in red on the right), and DTO (Data Transfer Objects) transformations are transparently managed by the interpreter.
Jolie code is always contained in services, which you can always move from being local to remote and vice versa, without altering the logic of your programs. A monolithical application can scale to being distributed by design: if you decide to distribute a part of it, just take it and execute it in another machine.
Jolie is protocol agnostic: your services can exchange data by using different protocols. Bridging two networks using different protocols is a matter of a few lines of code. If you need a protocol that Jolie does not support yet, there is an API for developing new ones in Java.
