Error handling is one of those important things that many developers neglect. Your code never errors once you're done testing it, right :) ColdFusion's detailed error messages were always a draw to the platform, but have become a bit of an embarrassment when surfing across a site that's sporting the defau...

CommandBox is unique from other CLIs in a couple ways. My favorite one is that everything is built around the concept of commands. Not only does this organize how CFML scripts can be run from the command line, it also greatly simplifies writing custom commands since you have a platform to build upon. Part of that platform is automatic parameter handling, which brings me to my second favorite thing about CommandBox. Many CLIs only allow for positional parameters, while CommandBox also allows for the familiar syntax of named parameters plus the convenience of flags for quick boolean controls.

Dependencies are other packages that are required by another package for it to run. A simple package may have no dependencies, or it may have many. There are two types of dependencies: a regular dependency or a development dependency. Regular dependencies are ones required for operation of the main package. Development dependencies are optional and only necessary if you plan on making changes to the package you're installing. Dev dependencies would include testing frameworks or build tools.
When a package is installed, CommandBox will read its dependencies (from the box.json) and recursively install them as well. This encourages developers to write small, reusable libraries for everyone to use. When installing via a package manager, you don't have to worry about getting all the pieces installed.
