Instead of post-processing query results with separate loops, transformers receive the raw Query object and execution metadata and return whatever format the application needs — REST envelopes with pagination, hydrated domain objects, columnar tabular data, or schema-aware result sets with full JDBC column descriptors. The release also adds getColumnMeta() to preserve JDBC ResultSetMetaData, application-level transformer registration via Application.bx, global query defaults via this.queryOptions and boxlang.json, and transformer support in the bx:query component. The feature is purely additive and requires no migration from 1.13.x. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
