<cfswitch>

Used with <cfcase> and <cfdefaultcase>.

Evaluates a passed expression and passes control to the <cfcase> tag that matches the expression result.

You can optionally code a <cfdefaultcase> tag, which receives control if there is no matching <cfcase> tag value.

This tag must have a body.

This tag is also supported within <cfscript>

<cfswitch expression=string ><!--- body ---></cfswitch>
