What problem does it solve?

This skill helps CFML developers migrate to BoxLang by clarifying key syntax and behavioral differences, leveraging the bx-compat-cfml compatibility module, converting CFML file types, and addressing common migration issues (scopes, annotations, query params, date handling) to ensure code runs on both CFML and BoxLang runtimes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guides CFML to BoxLang syntax changes and runtime parity across CFML and BoxLang engines.
  • Converts CFML file types (.cfc, .cfm, .cfs) to BoxLang-native equivalents (.bx, .bxs, .bxm) and documents tag/prefix changes.
  • Provides a practical migration checklist and examples for scopes, annotations, BIFs, and date handling to enable safe, cross-runtime code.

Quick Start

Follow the migration checklist to begin converting sample CFML components to BoxLang and verify behavior across runtimes.
