Representing logic as data in JSON

Question

For business reasons we need to externalize some conditional logic into external files: preferably JSON.

A simple filter-by scenario could be handled by adding a node a

Answer 1

Logic can be implemented with "logicOp": "Operator" on a "set": ["a","b" ...] For cHau's example:

"var": {
         "logicOp": "And",
         "set": ["value1",
                 {
                    "LogicOp": "Or",
                    "set": ["value2", "value3"]
                 }
              ]
       }

There can also be other attributes/operations for the set for example

"val": { "operators": ["min": 0, "max": 2], "set": ["a", "b", "c"] } 

For a sunday with two scoops of one or more icecream types, 1 toppings and whipcream

"sunday": {
            "icecream": { 
                          "operators": [ "num": 2,
                                        "multipleOfSingleItem": "true"],
                          "set": ["chocolate", "strawberry", "vanilla"]
                        },
            "topping": {
                          "operators": ["num": 1],
                          "set": ["fudge", "caramel"]
                       },
            "whipcream": "true"
          }
