FoursquareCFC is starting to gain traction. I've gotten emails from developers who rave about it, and one email asking if it was possible to return pure ColdFusion. Well Matt Gersting, this one's for you. I did some research on the Google and found another Riaforge project called xml2struct. Interestingly enough it converts a packet of XML to a series of ColdFusion structures and arrays. After an hour or two of implementing, the result is foursquareCFC 1.0, now with even more ColdFusion-y goodness.

Of course you've heard of Foursquare, you're on Twitter right? I'm on Twitter and I've certainly heard of Foursquare. But up until a few weeks ago I didn't really "get" Foursquare. Then I had lunch with a friend of mine and he explained the whole deal, but more importantly he communicated some of the potential for the mass quantities of data that Foursquare users freely share and my eyes were opened. He also mentioned that Foursquare had an API and I was sold. I joined Foursquare, started reviewing their documentation, and decided to write some code. You might already know that I enjoy writing ColdFusion wrappers for external APIs and empowering developers to write rich applications.
