CFML Advisory Committee

Welcome to the CFML Advisory Committee website. Our goal is to define what is "core" to the ColdFusion Markup Language, how that core should behave and what is considered "extended core" - what language features useful CFML processors should implement - as well as offering guidelines for vendor to provide extensions to CFML in a consistent manner.

We are currently finalizing our basic definition of what constitutes the core CFML tags, functions and script and will be publishing more details shortly.

Core Language Definition

Early on in our discussions, we agreed that "all" of cfscript is considered core language. Obviously this will need to be further refined since cfscript is not yet very well documented or specified and it sounds like Adobe are extending cfscript in their upcoming "Centaur" release.

Extended Core Language Definition

This category contains tags and functions that are considered important and "should" be present in every CFML processor but are not really core to the language itself. We'll flesh out this section after we've specified the core language.

Vendor-Specific Extensions

This section will list tags and functions that we consider to be vendor-specific extensions to the language (even if all vendors implement them) as well as providing guidelines for vendors to add new tags and functions in a consistent manner.
