filterql 0.1

Filter queries to json and back

With FilterQL you can write filter queries with the use of python objects. These objects can be translated to json and send over the wire to be used in some other backend. This allows you to not be limited to the way you can define filters in (front-end) applications that communicate with and API.

Status

Currently actively used and watched.
