Henri Biestro commented on JEXL-226:
------------------------------------
The Elvis operator casts the left-hand side to boolean; The 'null coalescing'
operator does not.
{code}
// x is not defined
x ?? 'other value' ; // 'other value'
var x = null;
x?? 'other value'; // 'other value'
x = 1;
x?? 'other value'; // 1
x = 0.0;
x?? 'other value'; // 0.0
x = NaN;
x??'other value'; //NaN
x ="";
x??'other value'; // ""
{code}
> add ?? operator support

> Jexl already supports null-coalescing semantics with the operator "?:". So it
> should be a simple matter to extend it with a different syntax.
