Welcome to the BoxLang MiniServer Runtime

This BoxLang web server runtime is a minimal server powered by JBoss Undertow and the BoxLang language. It is designed to be a lightweight and fast server. It is perfect for serverless applications, microservices, and APIs. If you want a more robust server, then you can use the BoxLang CommandBox Server. You can find the full documentation here https://boxlang.ortusbooks.com/getting-started/running-boxlang/miniserver

What is BoxLang?

BoxLang is a modern dynamic JVM language that can be deployed on multiple runtimes: operating system (Windows/Mac/*nix/Embedded), web server, lambda, iOS, android, web assembly, and more. BoxLang combines many features from different programming languages, including Java, ColdFusion, Python, Ruby, Go, and PHP, to provide developers with a modern and expressive syntax.

BoxLang has been designed to be a highly adaptable and dynamic language to take advantage of all the modern features of the JVM and was designed with several goals in mind:

  • Be a rapid application development (RAD) scripting language and middleware.
  • Unstagnate the dynamic language ecosystem in Java.
  • Be dynamic, modular, lightweight, and fast.
  • Be 100% interoperable with Java.
  • Be modern, functional, and fluent (Think mixing CFML, Node, Kotlin, Java, and Clojure)
  • Be able to support multiple runtimes and deployment targets:
    • Native OS Binaries (CLI Tooling, compilers, etc.)
    • MiniServer
    • Servlet Containers - CommandBox/Tomcat/Jetty/JBoss
    • JSR223 Scripting Engines
    • AWS Lambda
    • Microsoft Azure Functions (Coming Soon)
    • Android/iOS Devices (Coming Soon)
    • Web assembly (Coming Soon)
  • Compile down to Java ByteCode
  • Allow backward compatibility with the existing ColdFusion/CFML language.
  • Great IDE, Debugger and Tooling: https://boxlang.ortusbooks.com/getting-started/ide-tooling
  • Scripting (Any OS and Shebang) and REPL capabilities
