Abstract
A processing device executing a rule engine receives a first object. The processing device determines whether the first object is represented by a relational model or an object-oriented model. The first object is determined to be represented by the relational model responsive to the first object lacking a reference to a nested object. The first object is determined to be represented by the object-oriented model responsive to the first object including a reference to a nested object. If the first object is represented by the relational model, a join is performed between the first object and a second object based on a relationship between the objects using a first node. If the first object is represented by the object-oriented model, an expression of the first object is evaluated to navigate to a third object that is a first nested object of the first object using a second node.
