Features

Smart tab assist

Quickly navigate to the next logical tag, function or control statement within your code using keyboard shortcuts.

Advanced find and replace

Easily search your application for specific tags, attributes and text, regardless of the file location. Use regular expressions for more complex text searches.

Intelligent code assist

Accelerate your application development with intelligent, ordered code assist for CFML, CFScript, HTML, JavaScript and CSS. Get code assist even for third-party JavaScript libraries included in your web application.

Integrated task management

Set “to do” and “fix me” points within your code to quickly identify sections and resume development where you left off.

Code insight 

Get intelligent coding options for ColdFusion components (CFCs), database tables, user-defined functions, CFML tags, HTML, JavaScript and CSS, thanks to the smart introspection capabilities of ColdFusion Builder 3.1.

Professional coding support

Boost your productivity with a professional IDE that includes editors for CFML, CFScript, HTML, JavaScript, SQL and CSS. Leverage customizable syntax coloring, statement completion, code folding, interactive step-through debugging and snippet support to work more efficiently.

Object-relational mapping support

Manage database logic and connectivity without writing SQL. Take advantage of the ORM Application wizard to generate CFCs for business logic without writing code. 

RDS view

Navigate the file system or view the structure of database tables for any data source registered on your ColdFusion server.

CFML-based mobile app development

Leverage the productivity features of ColdFusion Builder to develop mobile apps. Use built-in integration with Adobe PhoneGap Build* to easily and quickly deliver them as installed apps that run on iOS and Android devices.

On-device debugging

Use the unique on-device debugging capabilities to identify and fix errors in installed apps as well as browser-based mobile applications. Remotely connect a mobile device to ColdFusion Builder and simulate actual usage on the device by stepping through application code.

Multidevice inspection

Inspect the look and feel of mobile and web applications on multiple devices using the built-in Weinre server. Modify the properties of elements using ColdFusion Builder, and see the changes take effect in real time in the mobile app.

Security code analyzer *

Use the security code analyzer to scan existing application code to automatically detect vulnerabilities and potential security breaches. Identify the exact vulnerable code, type of vulnerability and severity level, and mitigate the vulnerability with the suggestion provided.

*- Available only in ColdFusion Enterprise Edition

Refactoring

Speed up your CFML application development thanks to automatic restructuring of code when you rename a CFC, function or variable.
