Where can I download Coldfusion documentation data in other formats (excel, text file, or CSV, etc).

What I want is I want to store all of CF documentation in my own datasource. That's why excel format is very fast for data migration.

  • Documentation is clearly available - do you mean something else? – nykash Aug 25 '11 at 13:00
  • Nope.. what I meant is documentation **data** just like excel format. Read carefully, friend. – PPShein Aug 25 '11 at 13:56
  • @ppshein: either provide a better explanation or this question will likely be closed. – orangepips Aug 25 '11 at 14:30
  • I adjusted the question to make it more clear exactly what you're looking for, which is CF documentation in formats other than HTML or PDF. – Dan Short Aug 25 '11 at 15:37
  • What I want is to store all of CF documentation data in my database. – PPShein Aug 26 '11 at 00:12
  • Actually, **can you expand on what it is you're trying to do?** Because of course there is the function `getFunctionList()`( http://cfquickdocs.com/cf9/#getfunctionlist ) which can give you a list of function names programmatically, and I think I've got a script which uses this and other stuff to produce functions/arguments/tags/attributes data (though that was back before CF9 came out, but it would probably still work). – Peter Boughton Aug 26 '11 at 13:31

Documentation is included with Coldfusion Developer's edition. Download it from http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion-developer.html Install it and check the /cfdocs/htmldocs/CFMLRef/ directory in the root.

  • I'm not sure this includes *all* the documentation, although it's not clear whether that's what ppshein is asking for anyway. It would require some HTML parsing to get rid of the all the unwanted markup and get at the underlying data though. – Peter Boughton Aug 26 '11 at 13:24

You could follow the lead from http://www.cfquickdocs.com/howItWorks.cfm and just screenscrape all the documentation off the Adobe site into XML or into your datasource

From the source, I guess...

There is a PDF download option on the docs link that @iDevlop provided http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/9.0/CFMLRef/index.html. I work on Adobe's doc team and I am not aware of any docs that provided in Excel format or text files.
