CommandBox: A Smarter Foundation for BoxLang and CFML Workflows

CommandBox: A Smarter Foundation for BoxLang and CFML Workflows

In day-to-day development, some tools simply do their job… and others quietly change the way you work. CommandBox falls into the second category.

It doesn’t replace your editor, framework, or existing applications. Instead, it becomes the common ground where CFML and BoxLang development meet ,giving teams a consistent, reliable way to build, run, and evolve their projects.

DocBox v5 - Reborn: Modern API Docs for BoxLang & CFML

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.
