Functions

  • astFromPath()

    Parses a CFML file and returns its Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) representation. The AST is a structured tree that represents the syntactic structure of the CFML code, making it useful for: - Code Analysis: Static analysis, complexity metrics, dependency tracking - IDE Tooling: Syntax highlighting, autocomplete, refactoring support - Transformation: Code generation, minification, transpilation - Documentation: Automatic API documentation generation - Quality Assurance: Linting, code style enforcement, security scanning The returned AST uses neutral, language-agnostic node types following ESTree conventions such as BinaryExpression, IfStatement, FunctionDeclaration, and literal types

  • astFromString()

    Parses CFML source code from a string and returns its Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) representation. The AST is a structured tree that represents the syntactic structure of the CFML code, making it useful for: - Code Analysis: Static analysis, complexity metrics, dependency tracking - IDE Tooling: Syntax highlighting, autocomplete, refactoring support - Transformation: Code generation, minification, transpilation - Documentation: Automatic API documentation generation - Quality Assurance: Linting, code style enforcement, security scanning The returned AST uses neutral, language-agnostic node types following ESTree conventions such as BinaryExpression, IfStatement, FunctionDeclaration, and literal types

  • Canonicalize()

    Canonicalization is simply the operation of reducing a possibly encoded string down to its simplest form. This is important, because attackers frequently use encoding to change their input in a way that will bypass validation filters, but still be interpreted properly by the target of the attack. Note that data encoded more than once is not something that a normal user would generate and should be regarded as an attack

  • DeserializeJSON()

    Converts a JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) or JSON5 string data representation into CFML data, such as a struct or array.

  • HtmlParse()

    parse the given html (not only xhtml) as xml Object, work similar to xmlParse, but this function is very forgiving with the syntax..

  • LSParseCurrency()

    Converts a locale-specific currency string into a formatted number. Attempts conversion by comparing the string with each the three supported currency formats (none, local, international) and using the first that matches.

  • LSParseDateTime()

    Converts a string that is a valid date/time representation in the current locale into a date/time object.

  • LSParseEuroCurrency()

    use function lsParseCurrency instead

  • LSParseNumber()

    Converts a string that is a valid numeric representation in the current locale into a formatted number.

  • ParseDateTime()

    Parses a date/time string according to the English (U.S.) locale conventions.

  • ParseNumber()

    Parses the string argument as a numeric value.

  • Val()

    Converts numeric characters that occur at the beginning of a string to an number.

  • XmlParse()

    Converts an XML document that is represented as a string variable into an XML document object.

Methods

  • string.deserializeJSON()

    Converts a JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) or JSON5 string data representation into CFML data, such as a struct or array.

  • string.parseDateTime()

    Parses a date/time string according to the English (U.S.) locale conventions.
