Creating A StructPop() Function In ColdFusion

This article discusses implementing a StructPop() function in ColdFusion, which combines reading a value from a struct key and then deleting that key, analogous to the Array.pop() method. The author demonstrates a technique using a try-finally block to return the value before deletion, ensuring clean in-place mutation of the struct. The post includes code examples and output from Adobe ColdFusion 2025, highlighting the use of safe-navigation operators. It addresses the lack of native struct pop functionality in ColdFusion and provides a practical solution for developers.
