Multi-Runtime

BoxLang can be deployed to multiple runtimes

BoxLang has been designed with a lightweight, fast, and modular core. The operating system binary is a whopping 6MB in size. This allows us to build on top of this binary according to the deployed runtime of choice. Check out our installation methods.

Available Runtimes

The currently available runtimes are the following:

Runtime	Description	Status
OS	Bare metal runtime for any OS Java runs in	Done
JSR-223	Java scripting interfaces	Done
MiniServer	A pure Java webserver built with BoxLang	Done
Servlet WAR	A servlet capable war	Done
CommandBox	A BoxLang engine for CommandBox	Done
AWS Lambda	Ability to run BoxLang with AWS Lambda	Done
Docker	BoxLang CLI, MIniServer and CommandBox images	Done
Azure Functions	Ability to run BoxLang with Microsoft Functions	In Progress
Android	Ability to run BoxLang in Android Devices	In Planning
iOS	Ability to run BoxLang in iOS Devices	In Planning
WebAssembly	Ability to run BoxLang as WebAssembly compiled code	In Planning

The core impetus of BoxLang is to be able to grow in a hierarchical approach in order to target specific runtimes with specific behavior for specific runtimes. For example, the concept of FORM, URL or web functions and components are only available to those runtimes that offer web support.
