Codex BL is a digital library platform developed by CodexLab, an Indian startup. The platform aims to create a community-driven and open-source repository of knowledge, with a primary focus on educational and research content. Codex BL utilizes the concept of pedagogy and axiology to curate and create educational content in digital format.

The platform primarily focuses on device-agnostic access to digital textbooks and other educational materials. These materials are designed to be easily accessible, shareable, and free for reuse. Users can upload and download Class 6 to 12 NCERT textbooks and other educational materials. The repository claims to be 'open source and community driven' meaning although content is freely available users can also edit and modify the content.

Codex BL was established with the primary aim to address the issues surrounding the board exams preparation, catering to students at the school level, especially those faced by rural students due to the unavailability of required study material. It also encourages the community to contribute content and make learning resource edit and modify by educators, students and researchers. The platform also has provisions for easier content management through authors, editors, maintainers.

Research suggests that creating content is often tedious and expensive for educators to create new digital content. Codex BL allows users to utilize content that was created but work from it by each community member which helps in significantly cutting down the costs for educators and students alike. Codex BL plans to enhance its platform by integrating with multiple type learners devices; therefore, users can study through desired speed and device. The website attracts many students, teachers, and community contributors as per the research studies conducted.
