<p>In the 2018 release of ColdFusion, we have introduced new Built-In Functions(BIF) to manipulate different objects using a single line invocation. Query Functions QueryDeleteRow( Object query, int rowNum ) QueryDeleteColumn( Object query, String columnName) Arrays Functions ArrayFirst(List list) ArrayLast(List list) XML Functions XmlIsEmpty( XmlNodeList xmlNodeList ) XmlCount( XmlNodeList xml ) XmlAppend( XmlNodeList xml1, XmlNodeList xml2 ) XmlUpdate( XmlNodeList xml, String key, Object value ) XmlKeyList( XmlNodeList xml ) XmlKeyArray( XmlNodeList xml ) Async Functions RunAsync() RunAsync(UDFMethod method) RunAsync(UDFMethod method, long […]</p>

Hi Ashudeep,

Very nice post! Couple comments:

1) format() is, thankfully, just a member function (not BIF)
2) precisionEvaluate() is also a numeric member function (useful for converting to java.math.BigDecimal) Ex:

  myVar1 = 10;
  myVar2 = myVar1.precisionEvaluate();//converts to java.math.BigDecimal (good!)
  writeOutput(myVar1.getClass().getName() & ' ' & myVar2.getClass().getName());

Outputs "java.lang.Integer java.math.BigDecimal" Sweet!! Thanks Adobe!! ..now for CF to internally use BigDecimal to reduce floating point math issues/tickets =)

Thanks!,
-Aaron

Two function names contain character x followed by an opening bracket. This is presented as a smiley on this page X(

I like that some of the examples have semicolon and some don't. That was a good new feature too.
