 Hope is a high level language for predicate evaluation on JSON written in java. It uses jackson for json handling and json-path for value extraction.
 
 #### Sample Hope expressions/rules
 ```
- "$.val" + 2 > 3
- "$.a" + "$.b" <= math.abs("$.c")
+ '/val' + 2 > 3
+ '/a' + '/b' <= math.abs('/c')
  ```
