What is Bombax?

Bombax is a web application platform for OS X that includes a high performance web server and a server-side web programming framework. Bombax web applications (BxApps) are written in Objective-C and can use Apple's Cocoa framework. Bombax includes everything you need to create and run Cocoa web applications.

Bombax's web development framework includes many advanced features for connecting to databases, handling sessions, and much more. Complete Xcode integration allows you to easily develop and debug your web application. Using Bombax's BXML language you can easily inline Objective-C code into HTML.

The Bombax server has an easy-to-use graphical interface and is powered by an extremely high performance Nginx core. Bombax supports virtual hosts, SSL, IPv6, load balancing, and more. BxApps can be installed in seconds and configured through customizable modules.

Why is it better?

Bombax is the only web development solution that uses the full power of OS X and Cocoa to bring their advantages to web programmers. With Bombax you have access to thousands of libraries and frameworks using Objective-C, C, or C++ for the maximum performance and functionality possible. 'Real' programming has come to the web!

The Bombax platform provides a consistent and feature-rich development environment. Because Bombax is focused entirely on OS X development, you can be certain that the server supports advanced functionality. For example, Bombax servers include drivers for Oracle, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite ready for use through the sophisticated Bombaxtic framework.

Bombax was developed with an authentic understanding and appreciation of OS X and Cocoa technology. From the framework to the server to the supporting tools, you will experience the quality and professionalism you expect as an OS X user.
