BoxLang for CFML Developers

Overview

BoxLang is a new language with a dual parser — it can parse and run CFML file types (.cfc, .cfm, .cfs) while also offering a modern native syntax via .bx / .bxs / .bxm files. For full CFML behavioral parity, install the bx-compat-cfml compatibility module.

The bx-compat-cfml Compatibility Module

The module patches BoxLang to behave like Adobe ColdFusion or Lucee for legacy code:

# CommandBox install
install bx-compat-cfml
