You can also serialize an expression or a predication designed with an ExpressionBuilder or a PredicationBuilder into the Expressif language.
To achieve this, use the method Serialize of the class ExpressionBuilder .
var builder = new ExpressionBuilder()
.Chain<Lower>()
.Chain<FirstChars>(5)
.Chain<PadRight>(7, '*');
var str = builder.Serialize();
Assert.That(str, Is.EqualTo("lower | first-chars(5) | pad-right(7, *)"));
or the same method from the class PredicationBuilder
var builder = new PredicationBuilder()
.Create<StartsWith>("ola")
.OrNot<EndsWith>("sla");
var str = builder.Serialize();
Assert.That(str, Is.EqualTo("{starts-with(ola) |OR !{ends-with(sla)}}"));
Both methods Serialize returns a textual representation of the expression/predicate.
Take note that you don’t need to build the expresion/predication before serializing it.
