BoxLang Modules and Packages
Overview
BoxLang's module system allows the runtime to be extended with additional built-in
functions (BIFs), components, and services. Modules are installed via CommandBox's
box CLI and configured in boxlang.json or Application.bx. Many modules
auto-register their BIFs globally — no imports required after installation.
Installing Modules
# Install via CommandBox
box install bx-redis
box install bx-pdf
