CFML Cold Fusion Markup Language, more commonly known as CFML, is the scripting language used by Adobe ColdFusion, BlueDragon and Railo, as well as other CFML server engines. CFML supports standard HTML files with database commands, conditional operators, high-level formatting functions, and other elements to produce web applications. ColdFusion tags have the same format as HTML tags. They are enclosed in angle brackets and can have zero or more named attributes. Many ColdFusion tags have bodies; that is, they have beginning and end tags with text to be processed between them. The pages in a ColdFusion application include the server-side CFML tags in addition to HTML (XHTML) tags. When a browser requests a page in a ColdFusion application, it is automatically pre-processed by the ColdFusion Application Server. ColdFusion tags tell the ColdFusion server that it must process the tagged information. The ColdFusion server only processes ColdFusion tag contents; it returns text outside of ColdFusion tags to the web server unchanged. |
