Announcing Serializer CFC
March 12 2008 by

I recently had a situation where I needed functionality to serialize and de-serialize a ColdFusion complex variable. Recalling that CF8 now lets us serialize CFCs using java.io.ObjectOutputStream, I figured it would probably let me serialize other CF data types as well (Array, Struct, etc). It did.
Serialization was only the first part of the process, next I needed a way to de-serialize the data back into ColdFusion data types. The process is fairly straightforward, and is, essentially, a reverse of the serialization process.
I've decided to release the Serializer.cfc on my google code site. You can find the download link below, or you can access it via SVN.
