CFML
CFML (ColdFusion Markup Language) is a scripting language used primarily for web development, designed to simplify the creation of dynamic web applications by integrating with HTML. It is often processed by ColdFusion servers to generate server-side logic, database interactions, and dynamic content. CFML is known for its tag-based syntax and built-in functions that reduce the need for verbose code compared to other languages.
Developers should learn CFML when working on legacy enterprise web applications, particularly in environments that use Adobe ColdFusion or Lucee servers, as it is common in government, education, and corporate sectors. It is useful for rapid prototyping and building data-driven websites due to its easy database connectivity and minimal setup requirements, though its popularity has declined in favor of modern frameworks.
