| * Creates Expression objects. |
| * <p> |
| * To create a JEXL Expression object, pass |
| * valid JEXL syntax to the static createExpression() method: |
| * </p> |
| * |
| * <pre> |
| * String jexl = "array[1]"; |
| * Expression expression = ExpressionFactory.createExpression( jexl ); |
| * </pre> |
| * |
| * <p> |
| * When an {@link Expression} object is created, the JEXL syntax is |
| * parsed and verified. If the supplied expression is neither an |
| * expression nor a reference, an exception is thrown from createException(). |
| * </p> |
| * |
| * <p> |
| * This is a convenience class; using an instance of a {@link JexlEngine} |
| * that serves the same purpose with more control is recommended. |
