The Future of UI Development with CBWIRE

CBWIRE is the easiest way to build modern, reactive interfaces in applications powered by CFML and now BoxLang. Inspired by Livewire and Alpine.js, CBWIRE removes the need to write large amounts of JavaScript and lets you focus on what truly matters: your application.

With its HTML-over-the-wire architecture, CBWIRE delivers dynamic and efficient components that integrate seamlessly into your different projects.


Why Developers Love CBWIRE

  • Build Faster – accelerate development without sacrificing quality.
  • Modernize Easily – upgrade legacy apps or create new ones with ease.

CBWIRE isn’t just a proof of concept, it’s ready for real-world applications:

  • E-commerce platforms

Power Meets Simplicity: Alpine.js Integration

CBWIRE includes native Alpine.js integration, making your components even more powerful and expressive. The magic happens when you combine the simplicity of CFML/BoxLang with the flexibility of Alpine.js.
