boxlang-runtime-spring-boot

You can use BoxLang as a view engine in Spring Boot by adding the BoxLang starter dependency, which provides auto-configuration to render .bxm templates directly from your controllers without manual setup.

No manual configuration is required. The auto-configuration wires BoxLangAutoConfiguration, BoxLangViewResolver, and a BoxRuntime singleton to map logical view names to classpath:/templates/<name>.bxm automatically.

Yes, the integration provides direct access to Spring Model attributes within BoxLang templates, allowing controllers to pass data seamlessly to the .bxm view layer for rendering.

You need Spring Boot 3.x, BoxLang 1.11.0 or higher, and JDK 21 or above to use the BoxLang view resolver and ensure compatibility with modern runtime environments.

Using the BoxLang Spring Boot starter eliminates integration boilerplate through zero-configuration auto-configuration, directly wiring the runtime and view resolver to handle template rendering automatically.

Yes, you can integrate BoxLang templating into an existing Spring Boot 3.x project by adding the starter dependency, which auto-configures the view resolver to process .bxm files from your classpath templates.
