What is Flowable's business rules engine?

Flowable Engine

I know Activiti used Drools. What does Flowable use?

Flowable 6 has a Flowable DMN (Decision Model Notation) engine:

There’s also still support for the Drools Engine integration.

Hi,

According to the link: http://www.flowable.org/docs/userguide/index.html

Section 8.5.5 :" Flowable uses Drools Expert, the Drools rule engine to execute business rules"

Does flowable v6 use drools instead of DMN?

Thanks,
Bipin

Hi Bipin,

as Tijs wrote, flowable 6 supports both rule engines.
If you want to see examples check following jUnit tests in source:
org.flowable.standalone.rules.RulesDeployerTest
org.flowable.dmn.engine.test.runtime.RuntimeTest
