ColdBox 4 introduces yet more nifty tools for RESTFul web services.  In ColdBox 4, we introduced the capability to do auto-marshaling of RESTFul body content from either JSON or XML formats.  We will take care of the defaults, nulls and incompatibility requirements.  All you have to do is use our event.getHTTPContent() method and pass the appropriate conversion argument. 

The possible conversion boolean arguments are:

  • json
  • xml

If set, ColdBox will auto-marshall the HTTP Body content from JSON or XML to native ColdFusion data types.


myStruct  = event.getHTTPContent( json=true );
xmlObject = event.getHTTPContent( xml=true );
Info: If the content is not json or xml, it will just return the content back to you.

ACF2021 extended support ends on November 10. Is Your Application Ready?

Adobe ColdFusion 2021 reaches the end of extended support on November 10, 2026. If your application still runs on this release, the time to decide what comes next is now.

Adobe ended core support for ColdFusion 2021 on November 10, 2025. The current extended support period is best effort and does not include security patches or hotfixes. When it ends on November 10 2026, organizations will no longer have that support option from Adobe for ColdFusion 2021.
