JSON

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. 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. https://cfdocs.org/serializejson​
Here are some examples for you:
if( isJson( mydata ) ){
    return deserializeJSON( 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();
var data = '[]'.deserializeJson();
