Add one dependency and write .bxm templates that have full access to HTTP scopes (url, form, cookie, request), auto-inject Spring Model attributes, and support hot-reload during development. BoxLangViewResolver integrates cleanly into Spring MVC's resolver chain alongside Thymeleaf or FreeMarker. Additional features include scheduled tasks, enterprise caching, and enhanced concurrency utilities. Requires Java 21+ and Spring Boot 3.4+. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
