Welcome to the BoxLang Servlet Runtime

This BoxLang Servlet Runtime is a Java Servlet implementation of the BoxLang language. This runtime allows you to run BoxLang code in a Java Servlet environment. This runtime is built on top of the BoxLang Core runtime and the BoxLang Java runtime. You can find the full docs here: https://boxlang.ortusbooks.com/getting-started/running-boxlang/commandbox

What is BoxLang?

BoxLang is a modern dynamic JVM language that can be deployed on multiple runtimes: operating system (Windows/Mac/*nix/Embedded), web server, lambda, iOS, android, web assembly, and more. BoxLang combines many features from different programming languages, including Java, ColdFusion, Python, Ruby, Go, and PHP, to provide developers with a modern and expressive syntax.

BoxLang has been designed to be a highly adaptable and dynamic language to take advantage of all the modern features of the JVM and was designed with several goals in mind:

• Be a rapid application development (RAD) scripting language and middleware.
• Unstagnate the dynamic language ecosystem in Java.
• Be dynamic, modular, lightweight, and fast.
• Be 100% interoperable with Java.
• Be modern, functional, and fluent (Think mixing CFML, Node, Kotlin, Java, and Clojure)
• Be able to support multiple runtimes and deployment targets:
  • Native OS Binaries (CLI Tooling, compilers, etc.)
  • MiniServer
  • Servlet Containers - CommandBox/Tomcat/Jetty/JBoss
  • JSR223 Scripting Engines
  • AWS Lambda
  • Microsoft Azure Functions (Coming Soon)
  • Android/iOS Devices (Coming Soon)
  • Web assembly (Coming Soon)
• Compile down to Java ByteCode
• Allow backward compatibility with the existing ColdFusion/CFML language.
• Great IDE, Debugger and Tooling: https://boxlang.ortusbooks.com/getting-started/ide-tooling
• Scripting (Any OS and Shebang) and REPL capabilities
