SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Enable seamless embedding of BoxLang as a scripting engine inside Java applications using the JSR-223 API, allowing dynamic logic, configurable rules, and runtime extensibility without recompiling.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • BoxLang as a standard ScriptEngine for Java applications.
  • Passing data via Bindings and retrieving results across the Java-BoxLang boundary.
  • Use Case: Add configurable business rules or templating logic in a JVM service.

Quick Start

Install the BoxLang JSR-223 engine in your Java project and start evaluating BoxLang scripts through the standard ScriptEngine interface.

FAQPage Schema
How do I embed BoxLang scripting inside a Java application?▼

You can embed BoxLang scripting inside Java applications by using the standard JSR-223 API to evaluate dynamic BoxLang code at runtime via the ScriptEngine interface.

What is the JSR-223 API used for with BoxLang on the JVM?▼

The JSR-223 API provides a standard ScriptEngine interface for Java applications to evaluate dynamic BoxLang scripts, enabling runtime extensibility and configurable business rules without recompiling.

How do I pass data between Java and BoxLang scripts at runtime?▼

You pass data between Java and BoxLang scripts by using standard JSR-223 Bindings, which support bidirectional data exchange and result retrieval across the Java-BoxLang execution boundary.

Do I need a specific Java version to run BoxLang as a ScriptEngine?▼

Yes, you need a Java 21+ runtime environment and the BoxLang engine dependency to run BoxLang as a ScriptEngine and execute its dynamic scripts within your JVM deployments.

When should I use BoxLang for scripting instead of compiling logic directly in Java?▼

Use BoxLang for scripting when you need to add configurable business rules, templating logic, or dynamic runtime extensibility to a JVM service without the overhead of recompiling your Java application.
