ColdFusion and APIs

ColdFusion is a platform that helps developers create websites and applications by simplifying how servers handle data and display content. APIs, or Application Programming Interfaces, are sets of rules that allow different software systems to communicate and share information efficiently. Think of ColdFusion as a toolkit for building websites, while APIs are like language translators enabling different programs—such as social media, weather services, or payment systems—to work together seamlessly. Together, they enable modern websites and applications to pull in data, perform actions, and deliver a smooth user experience.
