A lightweight expression language designed for the evaluation of expressions in various contexts.

Zen Expression is a versatile single-threaded expression language designed for simplicity high-performance. It's primarily used for evaluating and processing JSON data offers key components that empower developers in creating responsive and non-blocking I/O applications Out of the box, it comes with amazing benefits:

• 🚀 Blazingly fast - Perform millions of evaluations per second
• 🧠 Intuitive syntax - Minimalistic and expressive syntax
• 💼 Portable - Can be compiled for all standard architectures including WASM

Example

Evaluate expression using isolate:

use zen_expression::{evaluate_expression, json};

fn main() {
    let context = json!({ "tax": { "percentage": 10 } });
    let tax_amount = evaluate_expression("50 * tax.percentage / 100", &context).unwrap();

    assert_eq!(tax_amount, json!(5));
}

High Performance

When evaluating a lot of expressions at once, you can use Isolate directly. Under the hood, Isolate will re-use allocated memory from previous evaluations, drastically improving performance.

use zen_expression::{Isolate, json};

fn main() {
    let context = json!({ "tax": { "percentage": 10 } });
    let mut isolate = Isolate::with_environment(&context);

    // Fast 🚀
    for _ in 0..1_000 {
        let tax_amount = isolate.run_standard("50 * tax.percentage / 100").unwrap();
        assert_eq!(tax_amount, json!(5));
    }
}
