guide to cfml & cfscript equivelants?

[dakota81]

For instance, right now I want to write a function using cfscript and use what is done with the <cfhttp> tag, but I do not know if there is a corresponding cfscript function, and I'm not guessing the right keywords to search google.

Is there any webpage that has some kind of chart to tell what the corresponding cfscript function is for the cfml tags?

There's an area on cflib.org with UDFs that invoke many cftags, cfhttp being one of them, I believe.

I've not found any one good source of documentation of cfscript... I tend to use google intelligently... like if I'm having trouble with looping, I might google for:

cfscript for loop

There is a chapter on livedocs on cfscript

There is not a cfscript alternative for every cfml tag but you can do most things in cfscript. For the things you can't you can simply create a udf and call it from cfscript

At that point I would step back and ask, why?

Performance-wise, is there any difference between using <cfscript> and cfml?

There used to be, in cf5, a great performance increase in SOME areas of cfscript, but in MX / 7 I'm not so sure, the server software is so entirely different now than from cf5, everything is compiled to java on the fly...
