In computing, ColdFusion is a tag-based, middleware programming language used chiefly for writing web-based applications. The language and its application server were originally created by JJ Allaire and his brother Jeremy Allaire. It was then subsequently purchased and owned by Macromedia for several years. Macromedia itself is currently in the legal process to be acquired by Adobe.

ColdFusion is generally recognized to be fairly easy for people coming from straight HTML to learn. This is partly because it is tag based like HTML.

While ColdFusion is a programming language, many programmers think more as a scripting language, due to its very simple tag-based syntax, typeless variables and lack of support for programming anything but web-based applications.
