knowledge of computer programming. Requiring only familiarity with web browsers from users, and
standard SOAP and HTTP messaging knowledge from IT/IS staff members, the X12 Rule Engine
provides powerful creation and deployment of rules with a modest learning curve.
Arule engine also aims to separate a user from the flow of execution of the rules via priority and
forward/backward chaining. When writing pure code, developers handle control flow and execution based
on requirements. Rule engines on the other handle control flow, execution and conflict resolution based
