About

Judge0 (pronounced like "judge zero") is a robust, scalable, and open-source online code execution system. You can use it to build a wide range of applications that need online code execution features. Some examples include AI agents, competitive programming platforms, e-learning platforms, candidate assessment and recruitment platforms, online code editors, online IDEs, and many more.

Judge0 is an open-source online code execution system that enables the robust, fast, scalable, and sandboxed execution of AI-generated code, with support for multiple languages and frameworks.

In our research paper Robust and Scalable Online Code Execution System, we present Judge0's modern modular architecture that can be easily deployed and scaled. We study its design, comment on the various challenges in building such systems, and compare it with other available online code execution systems and online judge systems.

To see Judge0 in action, try Judge0 IDE - our free and open-source online code editor.

Get Started

You have plenty of options to get started with Judge0:

  1. Use our Judge0 Cloud via Rapid
  2. Use our Judge0 Cloud by directly working with us
  3. Self-host Judge0 on your own infrastructure

Integrating Judge0 into your application is easy. You can either use our simple HTTP JSON API or use our official Python SDK.

HTTP JSON API

curl \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
      "language_id": 109,
      "source_code": "print(f\"hello, {input()}\")",
      "stdin": "Alice"
  }' \
  "https://ce.judge0.com/submissions?wait=true"

Python SDK

# pip install judge0
import judge0
result = judge0.run(source_code="print(f'hello, {input()}')", stdin="Alice", language=judge0.PYTHON)
print(result.stdout)

Flavors

Judge0 comes in two flavors: Judge0 CE and Judge0 Extra CE. They differ mostly in the supported languages.

You can find the source code for Judge0 CE on the master branch, while you can find the source code for Judge0 Extra CE on the extra branch.
