Modular Extendable customization
The ContentBox core is totally modular, meaning your application is not bogged down with monolithic functionality you don't need. Add what you want from a multitude of components available at ForgeBox, or write your own. ContentBox can also enhance ANY ColdBox application with content capabilities.
You can even use ContentBox as a content value store and serve content via its internal API or a RESTFul API. Extend your CMS or your application with ease!
