ColdFusion(直譯:冷聚變),是一個動態Web伺服器,其CFML(ColdFusion Markup Language)是一種程式設計語言,類似現在的JavaServer Page里的JSTL(JSP Standard Tag Lib),從1995年開始開發,其設計思想被一些人認為非常先進,被一些語言所借鑑。
瑞士的一個公司也推出了一個開源的CFML 引擎,名字叫Railo Open Source,而且這個開源項目已經被JBoss Org 項目組認可。Railo 遵循Open Cfml 的開發協定,兼容標準CFML語言。
英文介紹
ColdFusion is an application server and software development framework used for the development of computer software in general, and dynamic web sites in particular. In this regard, ColdFusion is a similar product to ASPNET or Java Enterprise Edition.
The primary feature of ColdFusion is its associated scripting language, ColdFusion Markup Language (CFML), which compares to JSP, C#, or PHP and resembles HTML in syntax. "ColdFusion" is often used synonymously with "CFML", but it should be noted that there are additional CFML application servers besides ColdFusion, and that ColdFusion supports programming languages other than CFML, such as server-side Actionscript.
Originally a product of Allaire, in 2001 the company was purchased by Macromedia, who subsequently merged with Adobe Systems in 2005.
ColdFusion is most often used for data-driven web sites or intranets. More advanced users can use ColdFusion as a productivity layer above a J2EE platform or use ColdFusion as middleware in a service oriented architecture (SOA), generating SOAP or RESTful web services or Flash remoting.
