formulas as json

[juan_gandhi]

Tell me friends, is there a reasonable way to represent formulas (like logical conditions, for instance) in json format? Kind of... not obvious to me.

Only as functions, I think.

{op:ge arg1:{op:plus arg1:1 arg2:{op:minus arg1:2 arg2:3}} arg2:0}

S-expression can be represented with curlies but is it still json?

Beautiful! Thanks!

Why not pass it as a string? In JavaScript there is eval(). If JSON is just a transport, for sure there is a library to evaluate it in any language you are using.

Unless, of course, the formulas are real huge and have to be pulled in in pieces depending on calculation context. Hard to imagine these days. Whoever owns the full formula should to the folding anyways.

Too much for certain mobile devices.
