The future of web development is now, and Into the Box 2026 is leading the charge! We’re calling on developers, architects, and tech trailblazers from around the world to step on stage, share your knowledge, and shape the future of modern development with us.

We're back and bolder than ever. Into the Box 2026 is officially open for early registration, and we’re inviting you to be part of our mission to modernize the world of BoxLang, CFML, and Java development. This year’s theme, Modernization in Motion:Building a Dynamic Future, is more than a saying, it’s a call to action. As the tech landscape evolves, developers need tools that offer agility, scalability, and the freedom to grow. That’s exactly what we’re delivering across the Ortus Ecosystem.

With BoxLang, ColdBox, CommandBox, TestBox, and more, you can modernize on your own terms, quickly, flexibly, and backed by a growing community.

We're excited to announce the release of bx-jsoup, a powerful new BoxLang module that brings enterprise-grade HTML parsing and cleaning capabilities to your applications. Built on top of the proven Jsoup library, this module provides developers with safe, flexible tools for handling HTML content while maintaining BoxLang's signature ease of use. It also enhances the core document classes to provide you with a fluent BoxDocument result that you can navigate, query, and even convert your HTML representation to XML or JSON.

CBWire isn’t just a productivity boost, it’s a shift in how we think about building modern web apps in CFML. It empowers developers to create rich, responsive interfaces while keeping development clean, fast, and focused on what matters.

If you’re building ColdBox applications and want to streamline your front-end work, CBWire is one of the most impactful tools you can add to your stack.
