# Boolean Operators

## `and` (Boolean AND)

The 'and' operator returns Boolean `true` if both operands evaluate to `true`. If either or both operands is not a Boolean type, then they are first cast to a Boolean using the rules of the `$boolean` function.

## `or` (Boolean OR)

The 'or' operator returns Boolean `true` if either operand evaluates to `true`. If either or both operands is not a Boolean type, then they are first cast to a Boolean using the rules of the `$boolean` function.

**Please note that Boolean 'NOT' is a [function](/edi-platform/mappings/jsonata/jsonata-functions/boolean#not), not an operator.**
