BoxLang classes are created by defining properties, accessors, and constructors to encapsulate data and behavior. This skill provides syntax examples for structuring class properties and configuring access modifiers to build domain models.

BoxLang supports inheritance and interfaces to structure object-oriented hierarchies. You can implement interfaces and extend parent classes to enforce contracts and reuse logic across domain models and service layers.

The best way to apply design patterns in BoxLang is by leveraging its class structure, static members, and final constructs. This skill demonstrates ready-to-use object-oriented patterns to improve code structure and reuse.

BoxLang classes support annotations and static members. You can apply annotations during class design and use static members to share state or utility functions across instances without instantiation.

Final constructs in BoxLang prevent classes or methods from being overridden. Use them when designing inheritance hierarchies to lock down critical behavior and ensure core logic remains unchanged by subclasses.
