CFML supports native JSON support via several key functions and some member functions.
Core Functions
The core functions that deal with JSON are:
Function
Description
deserializeJson(
json
[ , strictMapping ]
[ , useCustomSerializer ]
)
Converts a JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) string data representation into CFML data, such as a struct or array. Only the 'json' argument is required. https://cfdocs.org/deserializejson​
isJson( var )
Evaluates whether a string is in valid JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) data interchange format. https://cfdocs.org/isjson​
serializeJson(
data
[ , serializeQueryByColumns ]
[ , useSecureJSONPrefix ]
[ , useCustomSerializer ]
)
Converts CFML data into a JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) representation of the data. Only the 'data' argument is required. https://cfdocs.org/serializejson​
if(isJson( mydata )){
returndeserializeJSON( data );
}
​
serializeJSON( myQuery,true);
serializeJSON( myData );
​
person =deserializeJSON( '{"company":"Ortus","name":"Mr OrtusMan"}' );
writeOutput( person.company );
Member Functions
You can call the deserializeJSON() from any string literal:
var deserializedData = myjsonString.deserializeJson();
