# Examples

This page is the "Examples" section of the Voxlang language reference. It is generated from LANGUAGE.md in the Voxlang compiler's own repository, so it says what the specification says and nothing more.

A URL is the heading, lowercased, with punctuation dropped and spaces turned into hyphens. Each "##" section of the spec is a page under /docs/, and every heading inside it is a fragment on that page, so "File I/O" is /docs/file-io/ and "Reading a whole file" inside it is /docs/file-io/#reading-a-whole-file.

As data: https://vox-lang.dev/docs/index.json lists every section and every heading with its URL, https://vox-lang.dev/docs/search.json carries one entry per heading with its first sentence and keywords, and https://vox-lang.dev/docs/anchors.json maps every slug to the page it lives on. Search is also a JSON endpoint: https://vox-lang.dev/docs/search?q=<words> returns ranked results as JSON, no page load.
