Rules-based processing of structured data

A computer-implemented method for transaction processing by a rules processing system, the method comprising:

• receiving, by an application program interface (API) gateway, a transaction from a pharmacy, the transaction having a first data format,
• validating, by the API gateway, that the pharmacy is authorized to access the rules processing system,
• reformatting, by a translation component, the transaction received by the API gateway into a structured data format used by a rules engine included in the rules processing system,
• evaluating, by the rules engine, one or more fields of the transaction according to a configurable set of logic rules, comprising at least one of
• modifying values of the one or more fields, generating a rejection of the transaction, or generating an indication that at least some of the one or more fields do not violate the set of logic rules,
• inserting, into a wrapper of the transaction, supplementary data based on the evaluation of the one or more fields,
• reformatting, by the translation component, the transaction into the first data format, and
• transmitting, by the API gateway, the transaction to the pharmacy,
• wherein the wrapper comprises an extensible data structure having a plurality of fields, the plurality of fields including metadata of the transaction,
• wherein the extensible data structure of the wrapper has a second data format different from the first data format,
• wherein the first data format is incompatible with storage of the supplementary data, and wherein the second data format is compatible with storage of the supplementary data, and
• wherein reformatting the transaction into the first data format comprises retaining the wrapper in the second data format.

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computer system, cause the computer system to perform operations for transaction processing by a rules processing system, the operations comprising:

• receiving, by an application program interface (API) gateway, a transaction from a pharmacy, the transaction having a first data format,
• validating, by the API gateway, that the pharmacy is authorized to access the rules processing system,
• reformatting, by a translation component, the transaction received by the API gateway into a structured data format used by a rules engine included in the rules processing system,
• evaluating, by the rules engine, one or more fields of the transaction according to a configurable set of logic rules, comprising at least one of
• modifying values of the one or more fields, generating a rejection of the transaction, or generating an indication that at least some of the one or more fields do not violate the set of logic rules,
• inserting, into a wrapper of the transaction, supplementary data based on the evaluation of the one or more fields,
• reformatting, by the translation component, the transaction into the first data format, and
• transmitting, by the API gateway, the transaction to the pharmacy,
• wherein the wrapper comprises an extensible data structure having a plurality of fields, the plurality of fields including metadata of the transaction,
• wherein the extensible data structure of the wrapper has a second data format different from the first data format,
• wherein the first data format is incompatible with storage of the supplementary data, and wherein the second data format is compatible with storage of the supplementary data, and
• wherein reformatting the transaction into the first data format comprises retaining the wrapper in the second data format.
