Transaction Box
***************

.. important::

   This is an experimental plugin and it should be build by using `-DBUILD_EXPERIMENTAL_PLUGINS=YES`.


Transaction Box, or |TxB|, is an Apache Traffic Server plugin to manipulate
:term:`transaction`\s. The functionality is based on requests I have received over the years from
users and admnistrators for |TS|. The primary points of interest are

*  YAML based configuration.
*  Smooth interaction between global and remap hooks.
*  Consistent access to data, a single way to access data usable in all circumstances.

|TxB| is designed as a very general plugin which can replace a number of other plugins. It is also
intended, in the long run, to replace "remap.config".
