Effective routing allows you to manage how data is accessed, manipulated, and presented, making it an essential skill for developers working with RESTful services.

We’ve added more goodies to our BoxLang Java interop: method references and higher-order functions. CFML has never let you do these things, making Java Interop feel like a second-class citizen. But with BoxLang, we’re elevating Java integration to a new level.

REST APIs have been a game-changer for modern web development. They provide a straightforward way to create HTTP endpoints, acting as web services for third-party applications or internal systems. Unlike protocols such as SOAP or XML-RPC, REST is more straightforward and less verbose, making it ideal for efficient and effective communication.

We are pleased to announce the release of BoxLang 1.0.0-Beta 8! This is our eigth beta marker and we are excited to report that we are 100% tag compatible with Adobe/Lucee and 99% BIF compatible. We can estimate that in the next 2 betas we will be 100% compatible with both Adobe/Lucee CFML engines when running BoxLang in compatibility mode. We will then begin our iterations on performance tuning, tooling updates, and innovation runs for an upcoming fall stable release.
