Ortus Coding Standards

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

Overview

Ortus Solutions maintains consistent formatting rules across all BoxLang, CFML, and Java source code. These rules are enforced via the OrtusJava Eclipse formatter profile (ortus-java-style.xml) for Java, and via the conventions documented here for BoxLang and CFML. When in doubt, match what already exists in the file you are editing.

Indentation

Use tabs for indentation — never spaces for the leading indent.
