APISIX Expressions

APISIX Expressions are combinations of variables, operators, and values that can be evaluated to a result, such as a Boolean value, true or false. Expressions can be used in configurations for route matching, request filtering, selective plugin applications, log enrichment, and more.

APISIX supports the evaluation of comparison operators and logical operators, as well as regular expressions (RegEx).

Comparison Operators

APISIX supports the following comparison operators to be used with built-in variables in expressions:

OperatorDescriptionExample
==equal["arg_version", "==", "v2"]
~=not equal["arg_version", "~=", "v2"]
>greater than["arg_ttl", ">", 3600]
>=greater than or equal to["arg_ttl", ">=", 3600]
<less than["arg_ttl", "<", 3600]
<=less than or equal to["arg_ttl", "<=", 3600]
~~match RegEx["arg_env", "~~", "[Dd]ev"]
~*match RegEx (case-insensitive)["arg_env", "~~", "dev"]
inexist in the right-hand side["arg_version", "in", ["v1","v2"]]
hascontain item in the right-hand side["graphql_root_fields", "has", "owner"]
!reverse the adjacent operator["arg_env", "!", "~~", "[Dd]ev"]
ipmatchmatch IP address["remote_addr", "ipmatch", ["192.168.102.40", "192.168.3.0/24"]]

Logical Operators

APISIX supports the following logical operators:

OperatorExplanation
ANDAND(A,B) is true if both A and B are true.
OROR(A,B) is true if either A or B is true.
!AND!AND(A,B) is true if either A or B is false.
!OR!OR(A,B) is true only if both A and B are false.

You can use logical operators to combine multiple expressions for evaluation, such as the following:

[
"AND",
["arg_version", "==", "v2"],
[
"OR",
["arg_action", "==", "signup"],
["arg_action", "==", "subscribe"]
]
]
