//! Expressions in RisingWave.
//!
//! All expressions are implemented under the [`Expression`] trait.
//!
//! ## Construction
//!
//! Expressions can be constructed by [`build_func()`] function, which returns a
//! [`BoxedExpression`].
//!
//! They can also be transformed from the prost [`ExprNode`] using the [`build_from_prost()`]
//! function.
//!
//! ## Evaluation
//!
//! Expressions can be evaluated using the [`eval`] function.
//!
//! [`ExprNode`]: risingwave_pb::expr::ExprNode
//! [`eval`]: Expression::eval

// These modules define concrete expression structures.
