Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert Delphi to Zig?

Paste your Delphi code into the input box, confirm the languages are set to Delphi and Zig, and click Convert. CodeConvert AI analyzes your Delphi code and generates equivalent Zig code in seconds, preserving the original logic and structure.

What are the main differences between Delphi and Zig?

Delphi and Zig differ in syntax, type system, standard libraries, and common idioms, so copying code line for line usually will not compile. The converter maps each Delphi construct to its closest Zig equivalent. See the comparison table below for the key differences between Delphi and Zig.

Is the converted Zig code accurate?

The AI produces high-quality Zig code that preserves the behavior of your original Delphi code and follows Zig conventions. It handles common patterns, data structures, and idioms for both Delphi and Zig. For large or performance-critical code, review and test the Zig output before using it in production.

Can I convert an entire Delphi project to Zig?

You can convert Delphi files one at a time by pasting each file's code. For a full migration, convert each file and then review how classes, dependencies, and project structure map from Delphi to Zig. Signing in for free raises the input limit to 25,000 characters per conversion for larger files.

Can I convert Zig back to Delphi?
