One Year. 100+ Features. Unlimited Possibilities.

Just one year ago, in March 2024, we launched BoxLang AI 1.0. Today, we're thrilled to announce BoxLang AI v2—a massive leap forward that positions BoxLang as the most powerful and versatile AI framework on the JVM.

Happy New Year! The BoxLang team is excited to announce BoxLang 1.9.0, a significant stability and compatibility release focused on production-readiness thanks to our client migrations and new application deployments. This release also introduces array-based form field parsing conventions, enhanced datasource lifecycle management, improved context handling, and resolves over 50 critical bugs to ensure enterprise-grade reliability for mission-critical applications.

Welcome to DocBox v5! We didn't just update DocBox. We rebuilt it from the ground up.

DocBox v5.0.0 represents a complete architectural rewrite—modern syntax, blazing performance, and a stunning new look that finally brings API documentation into 2025. Gone are the clunky HTML pages of yesteryear. Say hello to a gorgeous, theme-driven single-page application that makes browsing your API docs feel like using a premium developer tool. We have also released a dedicated module for BoxLang: BX-DOCBOX. A fully interactive CLI tool for generating your docs from the command line using pure BoxLang.

We are pleased to announce the general availability of CommandBox 6.3.0.  This minor release has a handful of bug fixes and some new features.  You can check out the latest documentation here:

With the release of BoxLang 1.7, our primary focus has been on improving the performance of our parser and bytecode generation pipeline. This article presents a comparison of BoxLang’s compilation performance against the current CFML engines. Future benchmarks will include other languages under similar workloads, but our immediate goal is to deliver measurable performance improvements to the CFML ecosystem, helping organizations achieve greater efficiency while preserving their existing technology investments, and provide to them a modern alternative and future.

The BoxLang team is thrilled to announce the release of BoxLang 1.7.0, a landmark update that brings powerful new capabilities for modern web development, distributed systems, and AI-powered applications.
