StructNew

Creates a structure. If you pass in a parameter you can create a normal, weak or linked typed of structure.

You can create a specific structure by passing a variable into this function for example:

"normal" (default): This creates a standard structure.
"weak": this creates a "weak" structure. This is good for caching objects as it is memory aware and will garbage collect objects. You should check if the key exists before obtaining a value from it.
"linked": this creates a "linked" structure. This is good for ordered structures. When you loop through the struct, it will return the keys in the order that they were added to the structure.

StructNew([type])

Return Type	Return Description
struct

Name	Type	Required	Position	Default	Description
type	String	No	1		the type the new struct (normal,weak,linked)

<cfset myStructure = StructNew()>
<cfset myLinkedStructure = StructNew("linked")>
<cfset myWeakStructure = StrucNew("weak")>
