EXPLANATION
ColdFusion Markup Language (CFML) is a scripting language
that augments standard HTML files with database commands, conditional
operators, high-level formatting functions, and other elements to
produce web applications. CFML also includes numerous other constructs,
including ColdFusion Components (CFCs), CFML's version of objects, which
allow for separation of business logic from presentation.
CFML can be written using either tags or CFScript, which is an ECMA script-style language.
The pages in a CFML application include the server-side CFML tags
and functions in addition to HTML tags. Modern CFML applications also
tend to have CFCs that are accessed by the CFML pages for executing
business logic. When a web browser requests a page in a ColdFusion
application, it is automatically pre-processed by the ColdFusion
application server.

CFML can also be used to generate other languages,such as XML, JavaScript, and CSS.
