WDDX
This module provides WDDX standards support
The WDDX module provides the bridge between the WDDX exchange format and BoxLang. It involves reading and parsing XML, converting data types, handling errors, and ensuring performance and compatibility. The module enables the integration of legacy systems with new applications.
It provides the wddx component along with its actions of bx2wddx, wddx2bx, bx2js and wddx2js. Note that if the compatibility module is installed in the BoxLang runtime, the usage of bx in the action changes to cfml.
Important Note: WDDX is, effectively, no longer supported for new development, and its continued use as a data interchange format is highly discouraged. This module should only be used to maintain compatibility with legacy code, and developers should be encouraged to sunset its usage.

Contributed Functions
This module will contribute the following components globally:
wddx ( e.g.
<cfwddx.../>and<bx:wddx.../>depending on the template type andwddx...;in script )
Attributes
action:string (required)
The action to execute
cfml2wddxwddx2cfmlcfml2jswddx2js
input:string (required)
The value to process.
output:variableName
The name of the variable of the output.
topLevelVariable:string
Name of top-level JavaScript object created by deserialization. The object is an instance of the WddxRecordset object.
useTimezoneInfo:boolean=true
Whether to output time-zone information when serializing CFML to WDDX.
validate:boolean=false
Applies if action = "wddx2cfml" or "wddx2js".
Yes: validates WDDX input with an XML parser using WDDX DTD. If parser processes input without error, packet is deserialized. Otherwise, an error is thrown.
No: no input validation
