| Name | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| string | string | Yes | A string that needs to be deserialized. | |
| type | string | Yes | The type of the data to be deserialized. ColdFusion by default supports XML and JSON formats. You can also implement support for other types in the CustomSerializer CFC. | |
| useCustomSerializer | boolean | Yes | true | Whether to use the custom serializer or not. The custom serializer will always be used for deserialization. If false, the XML/JSON deserialization will be done using the default ColdFusion behavior. If any other type is passed with useCustomSerializer as false, then TypeNotSupportedException will be thrown. |
