Discouraged

The following tags/functions are discouraged to use

array

Lucee recommends to use the inline array notation.

cfapplication

Use Application.cfc instead of Application.cfm files. The Application component provides better organization and additional features. Note that if you are using Application.cfm it should contain a cfapplication tag.

cfusion_Decrypt

The use of this function is discouraged. It is an internal function, call decrypt(string,key,"cfmx_compat","hex") instead.

cfusion_Encrypt

The use of this function is discouraged. It is an internal function, call encrypt(string,key,"cfmx_compat","hex") instead.

evaluate

In almost all cases evaluate is unnecessary (use bracket notation instead). Use of evaluate can lead to performance and security issues.

iIf

Use the ternary operator CF 9+ instead because it does not evaluate. Example ternary operator: ( (condition) ? valueIfTrue : valueIfFalse )

lsParseEuroCurrency

Use LSParseCurrency instead

preserveSingleQuotes

The use of preserveSingleQuotes often (but not always) results in code that will be vulnerable to SQL Injection. Use the cfqueryparam tag instead, and you will not need to worry about single quotes.

setVariable

This function is no longer required in well-formed CFML pages

sizeOf

This function is in an early state. Do not use in production!

urlEncodedFormat

The continued use of this function is discouraged. It is recommended that you use EncodeForURL for all new applications.

urlSessionFormat

Putting session identifiers in the URL may lead to session hijacking.

xmlFormat

Adobe recommends using encodeForXML instead of xmlFormat.
