BoxLang MiniServer
Overview
BoxLang MiniServer is the official lightweight web server for BoxLang applications. It is built on Undertow and is NOT a servlet container — it is a purpose-built, fast web runtime for BoxLang. Use it for development servers and production deployments where a full Java EE container is not needed.
Binary: boxlang-miniserver (Windows: boxlang-miniserver.bat)
Default behavior: binds 0.0.0.0:8080, uses current working directory as webroot.
Quick Start
# Start in current directory on default port 8080
boxlang-miniserver
# Custom port and webroot
boxlang-miniserver --port 9000 --webroot ./public
