We are so excited to announce the availability of our brand new product to our product line: ContentBox.

What is ContentBox?

ContentBox is a professional open source modular content management engine that allows you to easily build websites, blogs, wikis, complex web applications and even power mobile or cloud applications.  Built with a secure and flexible modular core, designed to scale, and combined with world-class support, ContentBox will get your projects out the door in no time.

Solid Foundation Built To Scale

ContentBox is built with a solid professional open source MVC framework foundation; The ColdBox Platform, which has been powering web applications since 2005 and used by thousands of developers worldwide.  Used by clients like NASA JPL, ESRI, Adobe TV, NASA Kennedy Space Center, Equator Financial, FAA, GE, and much more, The ColdBox Platform has become the Object Oriented application framework of choice for premier ColdFusion developers around the world.  Combined with its full-stack of features, java and hibernate integration, professional support, architecture and design services, ColdBox is the framework of choice for ColdFusion web development.

Under the hood ContentBox is powered by a Java based CFML engine and libraries like OWASP AntiSamy, EHCache, and Hibernate, the de-facto standard object relational mapper.  ContentBox can be deployed in almost any J2EE container and our entire infrastructure is built with scalability, clustering and cloud deployment in mind. 

Modularity is Key!

ContentBox is not a traditional and monolithic CMS, blog or wiki application, but a combination of software modules that will provide you with CMS, blog and wiki capabilities.  ContentBox can also enhance any ColdBox application with content capabilities without affecting the parent application. You can also use ContentBox as a content value store and serve content via its RESTFul API.  No longer be restricted by a monolithic application's extension points, but extend and scale modularly.

CFML developers have always had a bit of a rebellious streak.

That's part of what makes CFML great. It gives you enormous freedom to build applications quickly and structure them almost any way you want.

So yes, you can build a successful ColdFusion application without a framework. Many developers have, and some of those applications have been running for decades.

But trust us on this one:

Use a framework.

And if you're building or maintaini...
