BoxSyndication 2 has been written from the ground up to emulate and copy the ColdFusion 8 CFFEED tag "create" function. Unlike CFFEED though, BoxSyndication 2 is not limited to ColdFusion 8. It works and officially supports a large variety of CFML servers including Adobe ColdFusion MX, ColdFusion 7 and 8, New Atlanta Blue Dragon 6.2 and 7 and Railo 2+. Just like CFFEED, BoxSyndication 2 supports the creation of both the Atom 1; RSS 2 and Apple iTunes Podcasting namespace standards using query or structure datasets. In addition Box Syndication 2 also supports the Creative Commons License, OpenSearch and the Dublin Core Metadata namespaces for both feed types.

Unlike Adobe's implementation though, BoxSyndication supports an extensive range of extra functions that will make feed creation easier and simpler. Things like feed-data, structure and layout validation. The automatic generation of important feed elements. And data conversions which replace problematic show stopping, text characters and whitespace with XML compatible hexadecimal code.
