# Beyond The 100

We cannot possibly cover all the features of the ColdFusion Engines in this book as our focus was more on the core CFML language.  However, please note that the engines offer a tremendous middle-ware capabilities that extend beyond normal language features.  There are many areas that make ColdFusion one of the most (if not the most) **rapid application development (RAD)** languages around.

{% hint style="success" %}
Check out the [cfdocs](https://cfdocs.org/) and the engine documentation sites for all the different capabilities they can offer.
{% endhint %}

In our **Beyond The 100** section you will find more in-depth topics of how CFML can be used for web applications, database interactions, Java integration, RESTFul services*,* Image manipulation and much more.  Here is a simple listing of going beyond with CFML:

* PDF Creation
* PDF Manipulation
* Database Introspection
* Object Relational Manager via Hibernate/JPA
* Stored Procedures Support
* Multiple JDBC Connectors
* Job Scheduling
* Server Monitoring
* API Monitoring, Caching, Gateway
* Exchange Support
* LDAP Support
* Spreadsheet Support
* Open Office Support
* Mathematical Functions
* OSGI Bundle Support
* Distributed Caching Support
* Much More!

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://modern-cfml.ortusbooks.com/beyond-the-100/beyond-the-language.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
