Jools is a forward chaining Business Rules Engine (BRE), currently implemented as an inference engine.
Jools uses JSON rules. Rules consist of a descriptive name, one or more conditions and one or more consequences. Jools allows for very expressive rules, take for example the following:
{
"name": "say hello to Dave",
"condition":
function(name) {
return name == "Dave";
}
,
"consequence":
function(name) {
console.log("Hello " + name);
}
}
Provided the following fact, the rule would output "Hello Dave" to the console:
{
"name": "Dave",
"email": "dave@ibm.com"
}
