  • CS-Script Best alternative (I use it some times) -> Real C# scripts better than ExpressionEvaluator (But everything is compiled. Read the doc. Execution is faster but compilation can make it very slow. And if not done the right way, it can lead to memory leaks)

Commercial

I would say every C# evaluation libraries have drawbacks and benefits, ExpressionEvaluator is not an exception so choose wisely (Read docs and licences).

The biggest difference of ExpressionEvaluator is that everything is evaluated on the fly, nothing is compiled or transpile nor in CLR/JIT/IL nor in lambda expressions nor in javascript or other languages stuffs. So it can be slower in some cases (sometimes not) but it also avoid a lot of memory leaks. It already allow to evaluate some small scripts. If you don't want an another .dll file in your project, you only need to copy one C# file in your project. And it's MIT licence
