We’re thrilled to introduce auto-casting for Java functional interfaces to BoxLang functions. What does that mean? Simply put, you can now take a functional interface from Java and seamlessly use it as a BoxLang function.This makes it easier to integrate Java’s robust functional programming capabilities directly into your BoxLang code.

CommandBox has become a game-changer for many developers in the world of CFML and ColdFusion development. But, surprisingly, there are still developers who haven’t embraced this powerful tool yet. If you’re one of them—or even if you’re just curious about what CommandBox can do for you—here are the top 10 reasons why you should start using CommandBox today!

Caching is a powerful technique to boost the performance of your REST API. By reducing server load and speeding up response times, caching enhances the efficiency and scalability of your API. ColdBox offers advanced caching capabilities to optimize your API's performance.
