# +Modules BoxLang+/Starter includes a curated set of modules that extend the platform with integration points, productivity accelerators, and enterprise-grade features. Each module is versioned independently and installed on demand. ## ๐Ÿ” Module Index | Module | Purpose | | ----------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | [`bx-couchbase`](/boxlang-+-++/modules/bx-couchbase.md) | Distributed caching and NoSQL document storage via Couchbase. | | [`bx-csv`](/boxlang-+-++/modules/bx-csv.md) | Streaming CSV parsing and generation for large datasets. | | [`bx-ldap`](/boxlang-+-++/modules/bx-ldap.md) | Full-featured LDAP directory access for BoxLang applications. | | [`bx-mcp`](/boxlang-+-++/modules/bx-mcp.md) | Model Context Protocol server for runtime diagnostics, introspection, and operational automation. | | [`bx-meilisearch`](/boxlang-+-++/modules/bx-meilisearch.md) | [Meilisearch](https://www.meilisearch.com/) integration for fast full-text search in BoxLang applications. | | [`bx-pdf`](/boxlang-+-++/modules/bx-plus-pdf.md) | PDF generation and manipulation for documents, reports, and forms, including [licensed functionality](/boxlang-+-++/modules/bx-plus-pdf.md). | | [`bx-plus`](/boxlang-+-++/modules/bx-plus.md) | Subscription bootstrap, entitlement validation, and shared utilities. | | [`bx-redis`](/boxlang-+-++/modules/bx-redis.md) | Redis-backed caching, data structures, and pub/sub messaging. | | [`bx-rest-compat`](/boxlang-+-++/modules/rest-compat-+.md) | REST component compatibility and routing translation for legacy framework-less REST architectures. | | [`bx-soap-compat`](/boxlang-+-++/modules/soap-compat-+.md) | SOAP compatibility layer for generating, parsing, and communicating with web services. | | [`bx-spreadsheet`](/boxlang-+-++/modules/bx-spreadsheet.md) | Read, write, and style spreadsheet documents (XLSX). | ## ๐Ÿš€ Installation Pattern All premium modules follow a consistent installation workflow using either CommandBox / BoxLang CLI. Our recommended approach is CommandBox as it takes care of all dependencies. ### Via CommandBox CLI ```bash # Install bx-plus as a dependency for license management and the target module. box install ``` ### Via BoxLang OS Binary ```bash # Install bx-plus module first to enable license management install-bx-module bx-plus # Then install other modules install-bx-module ``` After installation, modules register themselves automatically or provide a simple activation step described in their documentation. ## ๐Ÿงช Common Usage Flow 1. Install module. 2. Configure via `boxlang.json`, environment variables, or runtime API. Each module can have different configuration needs; refer to individual module docs for specifics. 3. Inject or call provided services/components. 4. Handle errors using standard exception management patterns. ## ๐Ÿ“ Module Docs {% content-ref url="" %} {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="/pages/6C1iqibIZeeOkhNwZ8pb" %} [Couchbase +](/boxlang-+-++/modules/bx-couchbase.md) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="/pages/Afm0q0pnkn9RHqgVYxa0" %} [LDAP +](/boxlang-+-++/modules/bx-ldap.md) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="/pages/CWoJNisXXjrhrBk1PLt2" %} [MCP +](/boxlang-+-++/modules/bx-mcp.md) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="/pages/XgEGjIaLVnXWP7YThMAw" %} [Plus Core](/boxlang-+-++/modules/bx-plus.md) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="" %} {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="/pages/S4F4AHJEeX8fPh5x78KE" %} [Redis +](/boxlang-+-++/modules/bx-redis.md) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="/pages/gjSqf4e5acJhaS89QZ8f" %} [Spreadsheet +](/boxlang-+-++/modules/bx-spreadsheet.md) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="/pages/tz5pIeQyD3Q2Kq4JABVu" %} [SOAP Compat +](/boxlang-+-++/modules/soap-compat-+.md) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="/pages/i2LziXtK7ySd2v2CVeu5" %} [REST Compat +](/boxlang-+-++/modules/rest-compat-+.md) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="/pages/FDaCmiOAjcuwtFgkNd91" %} [Meilisearch +](/boxlang-+-++/modules/bx-meilisearch.md) {% endcontent-ref %} ## ๐Ÿ›ก Reliability & Performance Modules are tested against real-world workloads and evolve with feedback from production adopters. Performance-sensitive modules (Redis, CSV, Spreadsheet) emphasize streaming, connection pooling, and memory-efficient data structures. ## ๐Ÿ”„ Versioning & Compatibility * Semantic versioning (MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH) * Changelogs published per release * Compatibility matrix maintained for BoxLang runtime versions ## ๐Ÿ“ฃ Feedback Loop Need a new integration or capability? Reach out through official support channels or community discussions. Prioritized enhancements are often driven by real use cases. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
