Code Effects Documentation

Official documentation for Code Effects — an embeddable business rules engine for .NET featuring a visual rule editor, AI-assisted rule authoring and execution, and no-code capabilities for business users.

About Code Effects Software

Code Effects Software has been building decision automation software since 2009. Our embeddable business rules engine lets non-developers manage complex business logic without waiting on engineering for every rule change. With the release of Version 6, Code Effects decision platform adds AI/LLM-assisted rule authoring and execution, making it faster than ever to describe business rules using web-based UI and have them translated into working logic.

What's in This Repo

Files in this repo are structured to follow the namespaces of the C# public classes that make up the core functionality of the engine and the editor.

• Class reference articles are named after their namespace, minus the leading CodeEffects.Rule. prefix. For example, the CodeEffects.Rule.Common.Attributes.FieldAttribute class is documented in Common.Attributes.Field.md.
• General articles that cover concepts or the use of main platform features rather than a specific class follow the pattern Ui.Feature.Subject.md. For example, the article documenting the Adaptive Source model is named Ui.SourceObject.Adaptive.md.

Structure

Documentation is organized by language:

docs/
└── en/
    ├── Common.Attributes.Field.md
    ├── Ui.SourceObject.Adaptive.md
    └── ...

Currently available in English. Additional languages will be added under their own folder (e.g. docs/de/) as translations become available.
