Relationship to {@code Ordering}

* *

In light of the significant enhancements to {@code Comparator} in Java 8, the overwhelming * majority of usages of {@code Ordering} can be written using only built-in JDK APIs. This class is * intended to "fill the gap" and provide those features of {@code Ordering} not already provided by * the JDK. * * @since 21.0 * @author Louis Wasserman */ @Beta @GwtCompatible public final class Comparators { private Comparators() {} /** * Returns a new comparator which sorts iterables by comparing corresponding elements pairwise * until a nonzero result is found; imposes "dictionary order." If the end of one iterable is * reached, but not the other, the shorter iterable is considered to be less than the longer one. * For example, a lexicographical natural ordering over integers considers {@code [] < [1] < [1, * 1] < [1, 2] < [2]}. * *

Note that {@code Collections.reverseOrder(lexicographical(comparator))} is not equivalent to * {@code lexicographical(Collections.reverseOrder(comparator))} (consider how each would order * {@code [1]} and {@code [1, 1]}). */ // Note: 90% of the time we don't add type parameters or wildcards that serve only to "tweak" the // desired return type.
