Here is a component that extends Ben Nadel's JSON Serializer CFC (http://www.bennadel.com/blog/2505-JsonSerializer-cfc-A-Data-Serialization-Utility-For-ColdFusion.htm) and uses the jsonUTIL project in lieu of native CF serialization to fix some known issues. This approach uses a CFDirectory call to find all my persistent CFCs (in this case they …

<cfset super.init()>
<!--- FOR Reference: PROPERTIES THAT ARE AVAILABLE due to the SUPER.init() call above
// Every key is added to the full key list.
fullKeyList = {};
// These key lists determine special data serialization.
booleanKeyList = {};
integerKeyList = {};
floatKeyList = {};
dateKeyList = {};
// These keys will NOT be used in serialization (ie. the key/value pairs will not be added
// to the serialized output).
blockedKeyList = {};
// When serializing values, ColdFusion has a tendency to convert strings to numbers if those
// strings look like numbers. We will prepend the string values with this "conversion blocker"
// so that we can force ColdFusion to make a string (this gets removed after serialization).
