It's professionally backed, conventions-based, modular, highly extensible, and productive. Getting started with ColdBox is quick and painless. ColdBox takes the pain out of development by giving you a standardized methodology for modern web development with features such as:\n\n* [Conventions instead of configuration](https://coldbox.ortusbooks.com/getting-started/conventions)\n* [Modern routing engine](https://coldbox.ortusbooks.com/the-basics/routing)\n* [RESTFul API ready](https://coldbox.ortusbooks.com/the-basics/event-handlers/rendering-data)\n* [A hierarchical approach to MVC using ColdBox Modules](https://coldbox.ortusbooks.com/hmvc/modules)\n* [Event-driven programming](getting-started/configuration/coldbox.cfc/configuration-directives/interceptors.md)\n* [Async and Parallel programming constructs](https://coldbox.ortusbooks.com/digging-deeper/promises-async-programming)\n* [Integration \u0026 Unit Testing](https://coldbox.ortusbooks.com/testing/testing-coldbox-applications)\n* [Included dependency injection](https://wirebox.ortusbooks.com)\n* [Caching engine and API](https://cachebox.ortusbooks.com)\n* [Logging engine](https://logbox.ortusbooks.com)\n* [An extensive ecosystem](https://forgebox.io)\n* Much More\n\nIt provides a set of reusable code and tools that can be used to increase your development productivity, as well as a development standard for working in team environments.\n\n### What is BoxLang?\n\n**BoxLang** is a modern dynamic JVM language developed by the ColdBox team that can be deployed on multiple runtimes: operating system (Windows/Mac/\\*nix/Embedded), web server, lambda, iOS, android, web assembly, and more. BoxLang combines many features from different programming languages, including Java, CFML, Python, Ruby, Go, and PHP, to provide developers with a modern, functional and expressive syntax.\n\nColdBox has been designed to work in both BoxLang and CFML language engines.  However, it is extremely optimized for BoxLang, since it is the same team that develops the language and the framework.\n\nRead more about BoxLang here: [https://boxlang.io](https://boxlang.io/)\n\n\u003cfigure\u003e\u003cimg src=\".gitbook/assets/image (10).png\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003cfigcaption\u003e\u003c/figcaption\u003e\u003c/figure\u003e\n\n### License\n\nThe ColdBox Platform is open source and licensed under the [Apache 2](https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html) License.\n\n* Copyright by Ortus Solutions, Corp\n* ColdBox, CacheBox, WireBox, and LogBox are registered trademarks of Ortus Solutions, Corp.\n\n### Discussion \u0026 Help\n\n![](.gitbook/assets/ortus-community-square-small.png)\n\nThe Ortus Community is how to get help for our entire platform and modules: [https://community.ortussolutions.com](https://community.ortussolutions.com).\n\n{% embed url=\"https://community.ortussolutions.com\" %}\ncommunity.ortussolutions.com\n{% endembed %}\n\nYou can also join our Slack Box Team at: [https://boxteam.ortussolutions.com](https://boxteam.ortussolutions.com)\n\n{% embed url=\"https://boxteam.ortussolutions.com\" %}\nboxteam.ortussolutions.com\n{% endembed %}\n\n### Reporting a Bug\n\nWe all make mistakes from time to time :) So why not let us know about it and help us out?
