In-memory files

In-memory files allow you to dynamically generate CFM files and execute them directly from memory. Memory-based virtual file system speeds up the processing of transient data. In-memory files are not written to disk and are saved on RAM.

In ColdFusion, in-memory files help you simplify the execution of dynamic code. Though they function in the same manner as disk files, they are faster. In-memory files are supported across all tags and functions that take file/directory as input or output. They work in the same manner as files saved on the disk.
