  1. Full PCRE Regular Expressions in Normalization rules

    Supporting full PCRE regular expressions would make Normalization rules so powerful. Allow capturing data in one place and re-using it somewhere else, checking for substrings, etc.

    Hello everyone,

    I’d like to share our plans to introduce support for XSL (Extensible Stylesheet Language) normalization rules. This new feature is designed for handling complex normalization tasks. It offers the flexibility of a full programming language, enabling advanced data manipulation. This will complement our existing normalization rules based on DROOLS, maintaining all of its current capabilities.

    Would the addition of this new type of normalization rule meet the requirements outlined in this idea?

  2. Allow **** or Python plugins for normalization rules

    The Drools framework in place for normalization rules is very limited compared to real programming script languages like **** or Python. Live would be way easier, much more efficient and some things impossible with Drools would be possible with **** (like in SFX parsers) or Python for those who can use these languages.
