How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from Elm to OCaml in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
- Type or paste your Elm code in the input box.
- Click the convert button.
- The resulting OCaml code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from Elm to OCaml using this converter. Note that you may not always get the same code since it is generated by an AI language model which is not 100% deterministic and gets updated from time to time.
Example 1 - Is String Palindrome
Program that checks if a string is a palindrome or not.

Key differences between Elm and OCaml
Characteristic | Elm | OCaml |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Elm has a syntax similar to Haskell and is designed to be simple and easy to read. | OCaml has a syntax similar to ML and is known for its expressive and concise syntax. |
Paradigm | Elm is a functional programming language that also supports declarative programming. | OCaml is a multi-paradigm language that supports functional, imperative, and object-oriented programming. |
Typing | Elm has a strong static type system that helps catch errors at compile-time. | OCaml has a strong static type system with type inference, allowing for safer and more efficient code. |
Performance | Elm is designed for front-end web development and focuses on performance optimizations for web applications. | OCaml is a general-purpose language known for its efficient performance and low memory footprint. |
Libraries and frameworks | Elm has a small but growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks specifically tailored for front-end web development. | OCaml has a rich ecosystem of libraries and frameworks for various domains, including web development, systems programming, and scientific computing. |
Community and support | Elm has a supportive and active community, with regular updates and documentation. | OCaml has a dedicated community with active development and strong support from the language maintainers. |
Learning curve | Elm has a gentle learning curve, especially for developers familiar with functional programming concepts. | OCaml has a steeper learning curve, especially for developers new to functional programming, but offers powerful features and flexibility. |
