Coldfusion components are the parts of ColdFusion framework, which introduces the new object oriented programming concepts to improve their ColdFusion skill set. These are also known as CFC and are common in other languages like - PHP, Java, C++, Visual Basic etc.

A ColdFusion component is a part, which is made to execute the number of functions related to a object. Like - if an application developer prepares a logical code that handles the number of customer data and records, it will be considered as a CFC.

While creating the single ColdFusion component, you can create the multiple of operations. Like in a CFC related to customer data, you can include many operations like - additing record, modify, remove, retrieving record.

There are many benefits of performing the ColdFusion component -

Functions can be restricted in access to the CFC.

After performing a single time compilation, a CFC can be used again and again.

A single CFC can share its methods with the other ColdFusion components.

Once you make a CFC, you have no need to call it again in a page.

ColdFusion components are self-documented and they have their own documents.
