System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

CFML teams often face heavy lift migrating applications between CFML engines and BoxLang, battling divergent null handling, type coercion rules, server scope semantics, and JSON parsing quirks. This skill provides a near-zero-code migration path by aligning BoxLang's runtime behavior with the source engine and surfacing incompatibilities early.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Engine-aware compatibility layer for null handling, JSON parsing, and BIF behavior to minimize code changes.
  • Server scope population and component lifecycle compatibility to preserve application semantics.
  • Incremental migration guidance from CFML components (.cfc/.cfm) to BoxLang components (.bx/.bxm) with upgrade planning.

Quick Start

Install the bx-compat-cfml module and configure the source engine (Adobe or Lucee) in boxlang.json to begin migrating CFML applications to BoxLang.
