SILQ

SILQ (Simple Interpreted Language for Queries) is a lightweight, expressive language designed to query object data in a simple, human-readable way. It provides developers with a minimal, easy-to-learn scripting environment that can be quickly embedded into applications for powerful object querying—without the overhead of complex query engines.

What is SILQ for?

SILQ is ideal for:

  • Filtering and transforming in-memory objects using a natural, SQL/English-like syntax
  • Embedding dynamic, user-defined queries in your applications
  • Internal tooling, configuration, or low-overhead data transformation tasks

SILQ is inspired by SQL and LINQ, but is intentionally minimal and runtime-interpreted. It is designed to be simple, predictable, and easy to integrate.

Key Features

  • Filter collections with flexible conditions
  • Select and project fields or computed expressions
  • Count, pick the first, or pick the last matching item
  • Access nested properties with dot notation
  • Perform logical, arithmetic, and string operations
  • Use intuitive membership and comparison checks

Example Usage

Suppose you have a collection of Person objects in your .NET application:

public class Person {
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public int Age { get; set; }
    public string City { get; set; }
}

You can use SILQ to query this data:

1. Select all people over 18

from people where Age > 18;

2. Select names of people in London

from people where City == "London" select { Name };

3. Count people under 30

count from people where Age < 30;

4. Get the first person named "Alice"

first from people where Name == "Alice";
