Jsep vs TinyExpr

Developers should use Jsep when they need to safely parse and evaluate user-provided expressions without using eval(), which can pose security risks meets developers should use tinyexpr when they need to add expression evaluation to c/c++ projects with minimal overhead, such as in embedded devices, configuration files, or calculators. Here's our take.

Jsep

Nice Pick

Developers should use Jsep when they need to safely parse and evaluate user-provided expressions without using eval(), which can pose security risks

Pros

• It is ideal for building interactive tools like data dashboards, spreadsheet-like applications, or rule engines that require dynamic formula processing
• Related to: javascript, abstract-syntax-tree

Cons

• Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

TinyExpr

Developers should use TinyExpr when they need to add expression evaluation to C/C++ projects with minimal overhead, such as in embedded devices, configuration files, or calculators

Pros

• It is ideal for scenarios where linking to large libraries like Lua or JavaScript engines is impractical, offering a fast and portable solution for parsing user-input formulas or dynamic calculations
• Related to: c-programming, embedded-systems

Cons

• Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict

Use Jsep if: You want it is ideal for building interactive tools like data dashboards, spreadsheet-like applications, or rule engines that require dynamic formula processing and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.

Use TinyExpr if: You prioritize it is ideal for scenarios where linking to large libraries like lua or javascript engines is impractical, offering a fast and portable solution for parsing user-input formulas or dynamic calculations over what Jsep offers.

The Bottom Line

Jsep wins

Developers should use Jsep when they need to safely parse and evaluate user-provided expressions without using eval(), which can pose security risks
