ColdBox Hierarchical MVC is the de-facto enterprise-level HMVC framework for ColdFusion (CFML) developers. 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 ColdFusion (CFML) development with features such as:

• Conventions instead of configuration
• Modern routing engine
• RESTFul API ready
• A hierarchical approach to MVC using ColdBox Modules
• Event-driven programming
• Async and Parallel programming constructs
• Integration & Unit Testing
• Included dependency injection
• Caching engine and API
• Logging engine
• An extensive eco-system
• Much More

It 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.
