SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

BoxLang web development can be complex due to managing the application lifecycle, HTTP request/response handling, security, and deployment. This skill provides a standardized approach to integrating Application.bx with REST APIs, sessions, CSRF, SSE, and deployment modes for both development (MiniServer) and production (CommandBox) environments.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Application.bx lifecycle and request routing to control app flow and behavior.
  • REST API patterns, session management, CSRF protection, and SSE for real-time updates.
  • Deployment configurations for MiniServer (development) and CommandBox (production) with example patterns.

Quick Start

Create a minimal BoxLang app with an Application.bx and a simple REST route to expose an API endpoint.
