I don't understand why numeric filters are included. The library is written in python, so shouldn't a lambda function based filter be roughly as fast but much easier/clearer to write.

I'm not the author, but this implementation has the benefit of being a JSON compatible DSL that you can serialize. Maybe that's intentional, maybe not.

It does look like Python's comprehensions would be a better choice if you're writing them by hand anyway.

Sure, we wrote this to filter Json data based on user provided values in a search form.
