Expr is a Go-centric expression language designed to deliver dynamic configurations with unparalleled accuracy, safety, and speed. Expr combines simple syntax with powerful features for ease of use:

// Allow only admins and moderators to moderate comments.
user.Group in ["admin", "moderator"] || user.Id == comment.UserId
// Determine whether the request is in the permitted time window.
request.Time - resource.Age < duration("24h")
// Ensure all tweets are less than 240 characters.
all(tweets, len(.Content) <= 240)

Features

Expr is a safe, fast, and intuitive expression evaluator optimized for the Go language. Here are its standout features:

Safety and Isolation

  • Memory-Safe: Expr is designed with a focus on safety, ensuring that programs do not access unrelated memory or introduce memory vulnerabilities.
  • Side-Effect-Free: Expressions evaluated in Expr only compute outputs from their inputs, ensuring no side-effects that can change state or produce unintended results.
  • Always Terminating: Expr is designed to prevent infinite loops, ensuring that every program will conclude in a reasonable amount of time.

Go Integration

  • Seamless with Go: Integrate Expr into your Go projects without the need to redefine types.

Static Typing

  • Ensures type correctness and prevents runtime type errors.
    out, err := expr.Compile(`name + age`)
    // err: invalid operation + (mismatched types string and int)
    // | name + age
    // | .....^

User-Friendly

  • Provides user-friendly error messages to assist with debugging and development.

Flexibility and Utility

  • Rich Operators: Offers a reasonable set of basic operators for a variety of applications.
  • Built-in Functions: Functions like all, none, any, one, filter, and map are provided out-of-the-box.

Performance

  • Optimized for Speed: Expr stands out in its performance, utilizing an optimizing compiler and a bytecode virtual machine. Check out these benchmarks for more details.
