ColdFusion has evolved into a full-fledged scripting language for the web and follows the line of PHP, JSP, and Asp for developing rich internet applications and other web services. The original ColdFusion was devised to integrate the database to simple HTML pages, however over the time it has evolved into a complete language. Let us see some of the important features that have made ColdFusion a highly popular choice of the web developers.
Easy to Understand and Implement: ColdFusion can be visualized as the extension of HTML and its syntax is very similar to HTML.
Availability of easy CFScripts: It has CFScript which resembles the JavaScripts and it helps in the programming to create dynamic web pages in a simple but effective way. CFSCript is far easier to work with as against the real ColdFusion codes.
No Need of any Test Server: There are inbuilt applications which act as a test server for the codes that you write. Alternatively, you can also run the script on Apache or IIS once you are done with the application.
Easy integration with Macromedia products: Cold Fusion codes can be easily integrated with the designs done in the Dreamweaver. The codes can be easily inserted in to the Dreamweaver files and they can also be edited with the built-in editor. ColdFusion codes can also be easily integrated with Flash applications (one of the popular Macromedia applications).
Besides these, some other important and attractive features of ColdFusion include easy access to database, effective client-server management, easy conversion of HTML to PDF and FlashPaper, effective GUI administration, and others. These features have enabled them a favorite choice among the web developers.
