BoxLang Configuration

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

Overview

BoxLang's runtime is configured through boxlang.json. The file is auto-created in the BoxLang home directory on first startup. All settings can be overridden via environment variables or Java system properties without modifying the file.

When configuration questions involve app-specific behavior in Application.bx (this.name, lifecycle callbacks, per-app schedulers/watchers, nested app isolation), pair this with the application-descriptor skill.
