BoxLang Templating Language
Overview
BoxLang's templating language uses .bxm files (BoxLang Markup) to mix HTML with
dynamic server-side code. The default mode in .bxm files is HTML output — you
embed BoxLang logic using <bx:*> tags and output expressions with #expression#.
File Types Recap
| Extension | Default mode | Primary use |
|---|---|---|
.bx |
Script | Classes, services, models |
.bxs |
Script | Standalone scripts, CLI tools |
.bxm |
Tag/markup | Templates, views, HTML pages |
