- Field Detail
  - STRING_COMPARATOR
```
public static final Comparator<String> STRING_COMPARATOR
```
    A comparator of string values.
  - LONG_COMPARATOR
```
public static final Comparator<Long> LONG_COMPARATOR
```
    A comparator of long values.
  - DOUBLE_COMPARATOR
```
public static final Comparator<Double> DOUBLE_COMPARATOR
```
    A comparator of double values.
  - DECIMAL_COMPARATOR
```
public static final Comparator<BigDecimal> DECIMAL_COMPARATOR
```
    A comparator of decimal values.
  - BOOLEAN_COMPARATOR
```
public static final Comparator<Boolean> BOOLEAN_COMPARATOR
```
    A comparator of boolean values.
  - BINARY_COMPARATOR
```
public static final Comparator<BinaryValue> BINARY_COMPARATOR
```
    A comparator of binary values. Although BinaryValue is Comparable, this comparator does not rely upon any particular Binary implementation. Thus, Binary implementations can use this for their Comparable.compareTo(Object) implementation.

```
public static final Comparator<Path.Segment> PATH_SEGMENT_COMPARATOR
```
    A comparator of path segment values.
  - PATH_SEGMENT_NAME_COMPARATOR
```
public static final Comparator<Path.Segment> PATH_SEGMENT_NAME_COMPARATOR
```
    A comparator of path segment names, excluding same-name-sibling indexes.

```
public static final Comparator<UUID> UUID_COMPARATOR
```
    A comparator of UUID values.
  - REFERENCE_COMPARATOR
```
public static final Comparator<Reference> REFERENCE_COMPARATOR
```
    A comparator of reference values.
  - OBJECT_COMPARATOR
```
public static final Comparator<Object> OBJECT_COMPARATOR
```
    A comparator of other values.
