What is a CFM File Type?
Only if you are a web developer and incorporate ColdFusion functionality into your web pages will you likely encounter CFM files. Adobe ColdFusion Builder is typically used by developers to create CFML applications. They can, however, use a variety of other IDEs and CFML editors, such as Adobe Dreamweaver, CFEclipse (plugin for Eclipse) and CFBrackets (extension for l' Brackets source code editor) as well.
The CFM files can be viewed and opened with a source code editor, such as the Sublime Text or the Visual Studio Code. They can also be opened with a plain text editor, such as Micorost Notepad or Apple Textedit, which are bundled with Windows and MacOS.
The CFML language is a-markup language with similar syntax to HTML and XML. Includes unique tags and personalized tag support to create dynamic web applications. All CFML starts with cf.
ColdFusion was developed by Allaire, then purchased by Macromedia, and is now distributed by Adobe Systems after acquiring Macromedia in 2005.
