ObjectComparator

Comparator over two values of any type.

The ObjectComparator class allows you to perform a comparison over two values of any type.

Checks if two values are equal. The operation can be performed over values of any type.

public static boolean areEqual(Object value1, Object value2)

Checks if two values are NOT equal. The operation can be performed over values of any type.

public static boolean areNotEqual(Object value1, Object value2)

Perform a comparison operation over two arguments. The operation can be performed over values of any type.

public static boolean compare(Object value1, String operation, Object value2)

value1: Object - first argument to compare.
operation: String - comparison operation: "==" ("=", “EQ”), “!= " ("<>”, “NE”); “<"/">” (“LT”/“GT”), “<="/">=” (“LE”/“GE”); “LIKE”.
value2: Object - the second argument to compare.
returns: boolean - result of the comparison operation.

Checks if the first value is greater than the second one. The operation can be performed over numbers or strings.

public static boolean more(Object value1, Object value2)

value1: Object - first value to compare
value2: Object - second value to compare
returns: boolean - true if the first value is greater than second and false otherwise.

Checks if first value is less than the second one. The operation can be performed over numbers or strings.

public static boolean less(Object value1, Object value2)

value1: Objecty - first value to compare
value2: Object - second value to compare
returns: boolean - true if the first value is less than second and false otherwise.

Checks if a string matches a regular expression

public static boolean match(Object value1, Object value2)

value: Object - string value to match.
regexp: Object - regular expression string.
returns: boolean - true if the value matches the regular expression and false otherwise.

{@code
  ObjectComparator.compare(2, "GT", 1);        // Result: true
  ObjectComparator.areEqual("A", "B");         // Result: false
  }
