BoxLang Java Integration

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

Overview

BoxLang compiles to Java bytecode and runs on JRE 21+. It has 100% Java interoperability — any Java library, class, or framework can be used directly from BoxLang code. Type conversion between BoxLang and Java types is automatic in most cases.

Creating Java Objects

Prefer new java:fully.qualified.ClassName() over createObject(). Both work, but the new java: syntax is more concise and idiomatic BoxLang.
