You can use ColdFusion to create, use, and manipulate XML documents. You can also use Web Distributed Data Exchange (WDDX), an XML dialect, for transmitting structured data, including transferring data between applications and between CFML and JavaScript. To use these technologies, you should be familiar with XML.
