A C++17 library for building and evaluating complex rule trees using conditions and subjects. This project provides a flexible framework for defining conditions, grouping them into logical rule trees (AND, OR, NOT), and evaluating them against input data.
- Condition Expressions: Define conditions using operands, comparison operators, and expected values (single or list).
- Rule Trees: Compose conditions into rule trees using logical operations (AND, OR, NOT).
- Evaluation Engine: Evaluate rules against input subjects and get detailed results, including error reasons.
- Extensible Types: Supports numbers, real numbers, and strings as value types.
- String-Operator Overloads: Simplify condition definitions using string representations of operators.
- Rule Parsing: Parse rule trees from boolean expression strings for easier rule definition.
rule_engine engine;
// Define conditions
// condition 11: LATITUDE < 42.0
engine.set_condition(11, "<", "LATITUDE", value{ 42.0 }); // double comparison
// condition 21: TEST INDICATOR == 0
engine.set_condition(21, "=", "TEST INDICATOR", value{ std::int64_t{0} }); // integer comparison
// condition 31: HELLO == "hello"
engine.set_condition(31, "=", "HELLO", value{ "hello" }); // string comparison
// condition 41: TEST INDICATOR IN [2,3,5]
engine.set_condition<std::int64_t>(41, "IN", "TEST INDICATOR", { 2, 3, 5 }); // integer IN list
// Rule tree: parse from string
// RULE = (11 AND (41 OR 31) AND NOT 21)
rule_node rule = cond3::parse_rule("(11 AND (41 OR 31) AND NOT 21)");
// Input (subjects)
rule_engine::subject_map subjects;
// Use helper from subject_utils.hpp so the key string is written only once
cond3::add_subject(subjects, "LATITUDE", value{ 38.5 }); // double match
cond3::add_subject(subjects, "TEST INDICATOR", value{ std::int64_t{3} }); // integer match
cond3::add_subject(subjects, "HELLO", value{ "hello" }); // string match
// Evaluate rule
auto r = engine.evaluate_rule(rule, subjects);
if (!r.ok) {
// error can happen e.g. when a subject key is missing.
std::cout << "rule => error: " << to_string(r.error) << "\n";
return 1;
}
std::cout << "rule => " << (r.value ? "true" : "false") << "\n";This project uses CMake (minimum version 3.16).
