Reflectively Accessing Built-In Functions In ColdFusion

Read Original

This technical article details an experiment to programmatically access built-in ColdFusion functions using reflection. The author demonstrates using getFunctionList() and shows how most functions can be referenced, while others like writeDump() fail. It compares approaches between Adobe ColdFusion (using evaluate()) and Lucee CFML (using getBuiltinFunction()), concluding this is generally not recommended.
