• Adobe ColdFusion Parses JSON Into Non-Ordered Structs

  Posted on Jul 1, 2024 at 6:52 PM

  @Ben Nadel, Meh...ordered or not, I am NEVER going to get values from a struct based on the position of the key in the struct (nor can I think of a use case for doing so). Which brings me to two interesting thoughts: How would you even get the value of a key based on the position... read more »
