Definition: Cold Fusion, a product of Allaire Corporation, is a suite of development tools designed to facilitate web integration of databases. It features the Cold Fusion Markup Language (CFML) which expands upon the features provided by the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and the Extensible Markup Language (XML).
