Parsable language to write arql queries in

It would be cool if there would be a parsable language for arql so I could write one as a string instead of using nested objects

I’ve written some code down here: https://gist.github.com/mkg20001/42a252f5fdc0a27d4ff3ed055edaf2cb

Implemented examples: & (= a 'test') (= b 'test') and and(equals(a, 'test'), equals(b, 'test'))

Since both would use the same lexer (the lexer is actually not written yet), they could be both supported simultaniously. Both token parsing functions return arql queries.

So far I’ve only implemented them to support and and equals How should those query languages be implemented in arweave?

It’s pretty cool

I’m going to replace a part of my code that uses this, the other parts will likely continue to use arlang for where user-supplied queries are expected as strings

Closing this as there now two libraries available that do this and are listed in the arweave-js docs 😃
