ColdBox

Conventions-based HMVC web framework for BoxLang and CFML applications, with dependency injection, caching, logging and REST routing.

ColdBox is an HMVC web framework, built around modules that nest inside an application, with conventions in place of configuration. It runs on BoxLang and on CFML engines. Its dependency injection (WireBox), caching (CacheBox) and logging (LogBox) components are also published as libraries for other BoxLang or CFML applications.

Applications are created with the ColdBox CLI, a CommandBox install, or one of the project’s starter templates, and extensions are published as modules on ForgeBox. The documentation sits on a separate site and includes its own MCP server for AI tools.
