ColdBox

ColdBox is a framework for reusing code when developing ColdFusion-powered applications.

It is a widely used tool amongst the ColdFusion community, allowing them to write leaner, more powerful, better organized and much lesser code when building complex, large applications.

Following classic MVC standards, ColdBox revolves around a core and optional modules that add extra functionality to the base offering.

If ColdBox is a tool for your next project, you should take some time and read the documentation before delving into the work and the code.
