TExp - Temporal expression library for Ruby with a modular, extensible expression serialization language

TExp is a temporal expression library for Ruby with a modular, extensible expression serialization language.

Temporal expressions are a way of concisely expressing recuring events. For example, Christmas falls on the 25th of December every year. A temporal expression that represented the recurring event called "Christmas" would return true for any date that falls on the 25th of December.

Here are some key features of "TExp":

· Basic Expressions for: Day of Week (see DayOfWeek), Week of Month (See Week), Specific Month (See Month), Day of Month (see DayOfMonth), Specific Year (See Year)
￭ Composite Expressions for: Logical AND (date must be included by all sub-expressions), Logical OR (date is included by any sub-expression), Logical NOT (include any date not included in the sub-expression), Windows (specify a windows of days around any date matching the sub-expression)
￭ Human readable descriptions via inspect
￭ Compact, parsable encoding via to_s
￭ User expandable with custom temporal expression types, that interoperates with the compact, parsable encoding.
