ColdFusion(直译:冷聚变),是一个动态Web伺服器,其CFML(ColdFusion Markup Language)是一种程式设计语言,类似现在的JavaServer Page里的JSTL(JSP Standard Tag Lib),从1995年开始开发,其设计思想被一些人认为非常先进,被一些语言所借鉴。
瑞士的一个公司也推出了一个开源的CFML 引擎,名字叫Railo Open Source,而且这个开源项目已经被JBoss Org 项目组认可。Railo 遵循Open Cfml 的开发协定,兼容标準CFML语言。
英文介绍
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.
