CFScript is an extension of CFML on the ColdFusion platform. CFScript resembles JavaScript. Some ColdFusion developers prefer it since it has less visual and typographical overhead than ordinary CFML; only the actual changes are represented in the code (whereas normal CFML would involve CFSET tags at every line).

All CFScript code must be contained within a CFScript tag pair, as follows:

<cfscript>
    xParam = 115;
    yParam = 200;
    color = 'FFCC99';
</cfscript>

While many ColdFusion tags have exact CFScript analogies, there are quite a few tags that do not. These include both complex tags that would be difficult to duplicate and simple tags that are easy to imitate (using ColdFusion UDF's):

Complex:

<cfquery>
<cffile>
<cfdirectory>

Simple:

<cfdump>
<cfthrow>
