Technologies are described for creating transformation objects, where a transformation object can make selected changes to a given input that includes a plurality of characters. At least one input example and at least one output example are provided, each including a set of a plurality of sequenced characters. A transformation function discovery process is initiated that accesses a rule base of intermediate functions to develop a transformation function as a set of intermediate functions that convert the input example to the output example. A transformation object is generated that allows access to the transformation function. References to the transformation object can be included in source code and used to convert the given input to an output.
