System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

BoxLang CLI scripting unifies building robust command-line tools by providing a structured approach to argument parsing, REPL interaction, and action-driven workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Argument parsing with CLIGetArgs() to consistently access options and positionals
  • Interactive REPL support for exploratory development and debugging
  • Running actions (compile, cftranspile, featureaudit, schedule) from the CLI
  • Runtime detection and environment awareness via server.boxlang and server.cli
  • Simple, executable scripts with shebang support and main() entry points

Quick Start

Create a BoxLang CLI script (for example, MyApp.bxs) with a main() entry point and run it via boxlang to parse arguments and execute a basic workflow
