//! # Rust Rule Engine v1.19.0 - Array Operators & String Methods Edition
//!
//! A high-performance rule engine for Rust with **RETE-UL algorithm**, **Array Membership (`in`) operator**,
//! **String Methods (startsWith, endsWith)**, **Plugin System**, and **GRL (Grule Rule Language)** support.
//! Features forward/backward chaining, stream processing, and production-ready performance.
//!
//! ## What's New in v1.19.0
//!
//! - **🎯 `in` Operator**: Array membership checks - `User.role in ["admin", "moderator"]`
//! - **🔤 String Methods**: Fixed `startsWith` and `endsWith` support in GRL parser
//! - **📦 Array Literals**: Full support for `["value1", "value2", 123, true]` syntax
//! - **✅ 154 Tests**: All tests passing including new operator tests
//!
//! ## Features
//!
//! - **🔌 Plugin System**: Modular plugin architecture with lifecycle management
//! - **🛠️ Built-in Plugin Suite**: 44+ actions & 33+ functions for common operations  
//! - **🔥 GRL Support**: Full Grule-compatible syntax
//! - **🎯 Method Calls**: `$Object.method(args)` and property access
//! - **📊 Knowledge Base**: Centralized rule management with salience
//! - **💾 Working Memory**: Facts system for complex object interactions
//! - **⚡ High Performance**: Optimized execution with cycle detection
//! - **🔄 Arithmetic**: Complex calculations in conditions and actions
//! - **🛡️ Type Safety**: Rust's type system ensures runtime safety
//!
//! ## Quick Start with Plugins
//!
//! ```rust
//! use rust_rule_engine::*;
//!
//! fn main() -> Result<()> {
//!     // Create Knowledge Base and Engine
//!     let kb = KnowledgeBase::new("Demo");
//!     let mut engine = RustRuleEngine::new(kb);
//!     let mut facts = Facts::new();
//!     
//!     // Set up data
//!     facts.set("user.age", Value::Number(25.0));
//!     facts.set("user.premium", Value::Boolean(false));
//!     
//!     // Define GRL rule
//!     let rule = r#"
//!     rule "PremiumUpgrade" salience 10 {
//!         when
//!             user.age >= 18 && user.premium == false
//!         then
//!             user.premium = true;
//!             user.discount = 0.1;
//!     }
//!     "#;
//!     
//!     // Parse and add rule to knowledge base
//!     let rules = GRLParser::parse_rules(rule)?;
//!     for r in rules {
//!         engine.knowledge_base().add_rule(r)?;
//!     }
//!     
//!     // Execute with facts
//!     let result = engine.execute(&facts)?;
//!     println!("User premium status: {:?}", facts.get("user.premium"));
//!     
//!     Ok(())
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! Built-in Plugin Suite provides comprehensive functionality for common operations:
//!
//! - **String Utilities**: 8 actions, 5 functions for text manipulation
//! - **Math Operations**: 10 actions, 6 functions for calculations  
//! - **Date/Time**: 8 actions, 7 functions for temporal operations
//! - Actions: CurrentDate, CurrentTime, FormatDate, ParseDate, AddDays, AddHours, DateDiff, IsWeekend
//! - Functions: now, today, dayOfWeek, dayOfYear, year, month, day
//!
//! ### Validation (8 actions, 6 functions)
//! - Actions: ValidateEmail, ValidatePhone, ValidateUrl, ValidateRegex, ValidateRange, ValidateLength, ValidateNotEmpty, ValidateNumeric
//! - Functions: isEmail, isPhone, isUrl, isNumeric, isEmpty, inRange
//!
//! ### Collections (10 actions, 9 functions)
//! - Actions: ArrayLength, ArrayPush, ArrayPop, ArraySort, ArrayFilter, ArrayMap, ArrayFind, ObjectKeys, ObjectValues, ObjectMerge
//! - Functions: length, contains, first, last, reverse, join, slice, keys, values
//!
//!   // Create engine
//!   let mut engine = RustRuleEngine::new(kb);
//!
//!   // Create facts
//!   let facts = Facts::new();
//!   let user = FactHelper::create_user("john", 25, "john@email.com", "US", false);
//!   facts.add_value("User", user)?;
//!
//!   // Execute rules
//!   let result = engine.execute(&facts)?;
//!   println!("Rules fired: {}", result.rules_fired);
//!
//!   Ok(())
//!   }
//! ```
