 At the simplest level you can use the ADF to access content within your CommonSpot installation programattically.  For instance if you had a custom element named "News" and you wanted to get all of the content/records for that custom element you could use the ADF and write code like this:
-<source lang="cfm">
+<!-- <source lang="cfm"> -->
    <cfset myData = application.ADF.ceData.getCEdata("News")>
-</source>
+<!-- </source> -->
 What you choose to do with that data is completely up to you.  Prior to the ADF, the only way you could access the data like this would be to write your own code against the CommonSpot database.

 The above example is only the beginning.  The ADF is so much more.  With the ADF you can also do some of the following:
 * Access Standard and Custom Metadata for any page and/or document in CommonSpot:
-<source lang="cfm">
    <cfset metadata = application.ADF.csData.getStandardMetadata(pageID)>
    <cfset customdata = application.ADF.csData.getCustomMetadata(pageID)>
-</source>
 * Access common tools typically found on the cflib.org site:
-<source lang="cfm">
    <cfset myArray = application.ADF.data.queryToArrayOfStructures(myQuery)>
-</source>
 * Connect two CommonSpot elements together using the new [[General Chooser]] and [[Custom Element Select]] custom field types
 * Download applications built using the ADF and add features to your site like [[Profiles]], [[Forums]], [[Blogs]]
 * Build [[ADF Applications| Applications]] using the ADF to distribute amongst your CommonSpot sites or share with the Community
 * Add [[ADF lightbox| lightbox]] interfaces to any of your applications/custom field types using code like:
