Smart Data

Murex has native support for data formats such as JSON, YAML, XML, CSV, and others.

Extremely Expressive

Murex has a flexible syntax that is both succinct enough to allow for fast typing in the command line, but also readable shell scripts.

Better Error Handling

Shell scripts are notorious for having leaky failure modes. Murex fixes this with familiar features like error handling and unit tests.

Getting Started

• Read the language tour to get started.

• The Rosetta Stone is a great cheatsheet for those wishing to skip the tutorials and jump straight in. This guide includes comparisons with Bash.

• The Interactive Shell guide walks you through using Murex as a command line as opposed to a scripting language.
