Online compiler

Clojure online compiler

Write Clojure 1.12 code below and run it, with input, in a sandbox on our servers. No sign-in, no ads. The same compiler is an API and an embeddable editor, for running Clojure in your own app, course or docs.

What runs your code

VersionClojure 1.12
Compiled withNo separate step: the run command compiles or interprets it
Run withclojure code.clj
Limits30 seconds, 512 MB of memory, 2 CPUs, 64 KB of output per stream, no network
Typical run1.64 s, and 1.83 s for the slowest 1 in 20 (how we measured)

Good to know

  • Runs as a script with clojure.main on Java 25.
  • (read-line) reads the next line of the Input tab, and (slurp *in*) reads all of it.
  • An error prints Clojure's full error report on stderr: the message with the line, such as Execution error (ArithmeticException) at user/eval3 (code.clj:2), then the stack trace. It exits with code 1.

Run Clojure from your own code

Send the code and its input to the sync endpoint with an API key, and the output comes back in the response. The API docs cover the async endpoint with callbacks and every response field.

Terminal
curl -X POST https://api.onlinecompiler.io/api/run-code-sync/ \
  -H "Authorization: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "compiler": "clojure-1.12",
    "code": "(let [name (read-line)]\n  (println (str \"Hello, \" name \"!\")))",
    "input": "Ada"
  }'

The response has output ("Hello, Ada!\n" here), error, exit_code, time and memory.

Put a runnable Clojure example on your site

The editor above is the embeddable widget. Add the script and a div with your widget key, and your readers can edit and run the code without an account:

example.html
<script src="https://onlinecompiler.io/widget.js"></script>

<div class="runcode" data-key="YOUR_WIDGET_KEY" data-lang="clojure-1.12">
  <script type="text/plain">
    (let [name (read-line)]
      (println (str "Hello, " name "!")))
  </script>
</div>

On a platform that takes an iframe but not a script, such as many course sites, use the iframe embed. For Docusaurus, MkDocs, Sphinx and Mintlify, see runnable code examples in docs.

Frequently asked questions

Is this Clojure online compiler free?

Yes. Running Clojure on this page needs no account and shows no ads. To run Clojure from your own app or site, the API and the widget are free up to 100,000 runs a month, commercial use included.

Can my Clojure program read input?

Yes. Type it in the Input tab before you run, and the program reads it from standard input. The whole input is sent when you press Run, so a program can't ask for more while it runs.

Can I use Clojure libraries?

Clojure's own namespaces, such as clojure.string and clojure.set, and the Java standard library. Libraries from Maven or Clojars can't be added, and programs have no network access.

How long can a program run?

Up to 30 seconds, with 512 MB of memory and 2 CPUs. A program still running at 30 seconds is stopped with exit code 124, and output over 64 KB per stream is cut.

Where does my code run?

On our servers, in a fresh gVisor sandbox with no network access that is deleted when the run ends. Each run is kept in execution history with its output; the security page says what is stored.
