Parsing
Functions
- 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.
