Business Rules
This project is a Python-based business rules engine designed to decouple application logic from source code. It provides a framework for defining and executing dynamic conditional logic, allowing system behavior to be determined by data criteria rather than hard-coded instructions.
The system distinguishes itself by offering a declarative policy framework that utilizes a domain-specific language to manage complex rules. By mapping internal object attributes to dynamic variables and registering executable actions, the engine enables the creation of automated decision-making workflows that can be adjusted without requiring full application deployments.
The engine includes administrative utilities for exporting metadata schemas, which describe available variables, operators, and actions. This configuration-driven approach supports the development of interfaces that allow non-technical users to manage and update business policies through external rule sets.
Features
- Business Rule Engines - Executes complex business logic and decision-making workflows by evaluating rules against system objects.
- Programmatic Rule Engines - Provides a Python-based framework for defining and executing dynamic conditional logic against application data.
- Rule Execution Engines - Processes collections of logical conditions against input data to determine system outcomes.
- Dynamic Logic Configuration - Manages conditional application behavior through external rule sets that can be updated without recompilation.
- Business Workflow Automation - Triggers automated system actions when input data meets predefined criteria defined in the rule engine.
- Domain Specific Languages - Translates human-readable rule definitions into abstract syntax trees for programmatic evaluation.
- DSL-Based Integration Logics - Implements a domain-specific language for managing complex business policies through configurable rule sets.
- Business Rule Evaluation - Evaluates collections of logical conditions against input data to trigger automated outcomes.
- Condition-Action Patterns - Provides a central registry for mapping conditional predicates to executable actions within the business logic engine.
- Object Attribute Mappings - Maps internal object attributes to dynamic variables accessible by the rule engine during evaluation.
- Logic Decoupling - Separates core business policies from application code to enable rapid updates without full deployments.
- Declarative Interaction Frameworks - Provides a declarative framework for mapping object attributes to executable actions based on evaluation criteria.
- No-Code Logic Design - Enables non-technical users to create and adjust complex decision-making logic using a simple domain-specific language.
