## [0.1.0] - 2024-08-06

### Added
- Initial release of ExJexl
- Complete JEXL expression language support
- Arithmetic operations (`+`, `-`, `*`, `/`, `%`)
- Comparison operations (`==`, `!=`, `>`, `<`, `>=`, `<=`)
- Logical operations (`&&`, `||`, `!`)
- Property access with dot notation (`user.name`)
- Property access with bracket notation (`user["name"]`, `user[key]`)
- Array access (`items[0]`)
- Nested property access (`data.users[0].name`)
- Membership testing with `in` operator
- Transform system with pipe operator (`items|length`)
- Chained transforms (`items|reverse|first`)
- Built-in functions (`length()`, `keys()`, `values()`, `type()`)
- Support for all JSON data types (numbers, strings, booleans, arrays, objects, null)
- Context support with both string and atom keys
- Comprehensive error handling and reporting
- High-performance parsing with NimbleParsec
- Extensive test suite with 100% coverage
- Performance benchmarking suite

### Performance
- ~960K operations/second for simple expressions
- ~780K operations/second for property access
- ~460K operations/second for arithmetic operations
- ~122K operations/second for complex business logic
- Microsecond-level latencies for most operations

### Available Transforms
- **Array**: `length`, `first`, `last`, `reverse`, `sort`, `unique`, `flatten`, `join`
- **String**: `upper`, `lower`, `trim`, `split`
- **Object**: `keys`, `values`
- **Utility**: `type`

### Documentation
- Comprehensive README with examples
- API documentation
- Performance analysis
- Benchmarking suite
- Usage examples for common patterns

### Technical Details
- Built with NimbleParsec for high-performance parsing
- Recursive descent parser with proper operator precedence
- AST-based evaluation for flexibility and performance
- Safe expression evaluation (sandboxed, no code execution)
- Memory-efficient implementation
- Support for short-circuit logical evaluation
