Data Stored in the Form Cache

The data stored in form cache consists of the form template text, pre-parsed into data structures that make future processing by the FCC more efficient.

These data structures include:

• Form locale data for internationalization
• An ordered list of data objects containing raw text in UTF-8 format, template directive information and function/variable information for substitution from the request environment.

By pre-processing the raw text from the FCC file before it is stored in cache, the FCC can reduce redundant operations and process forms more efficiently. The order of the data objects must be maintained to comply with existing FCC functional design. By design, directives, functions and variables are always processed from the top of the FCC file down. The FCC understands how to process the various ordered lists to properly support any given FCC template's intended functionality.
