<div dir="ltr">Thats a good point rjr201. Even I was looking to explore spreadsheet option a little further. But the question then is how are spreadsheets compiled/parsed into rules? Do they act as DSLs? As I want to keep it as a code-free option for users, do I need to insert a parser to generate a DRL file from spreadsheet? <br>

It's really down to the problem you are trying to solve.<br>
<br>
Have you looked into using spreadsheets? If you can fit your<br>
problem/solution into the spreadsheet format then I would strongly recommend<br>
you use that approach. Business users understand spreadsheets, and it<br>
reduces the risk of users making syntax/logic errors (spreadsheets<br>
essentially provide a template in which the user fills in parameters).<br>
