BoxLang Application Descriptor

BoxLang is the AI-native software productivity platform for building, modernizing and running applications, with developers and AI agents working together.

Overview

Application.bx is BoxLang's application descriptor. It defines application-level settings and lifecycle callbacks, and it is the cornerstone for running multiple isolated applications in one BoxLang server/runtime.

Use this skill whenever the question involves:

• app bootstrapping and lifecycle events
• per-app configuration in this.*
• nested apps and scope isolation
• app-scoped schedulers and watchers
• differences between runtime config (boxlang.json) and app config (Application.bx)
