public interface Criterion
An object representing a criterion to apply to a record.

A criterion is part of the definition of an `AdvancedCriteria` object, which is used to filter records according to search criteria.

A criterion consists of an operator and typically a fieldName from a Record and a value to compare to. However some operators either don't require a value (eg, isNull) or act on other criteria rather than directly on a Record's fields (eg, the "and" and "or" logical operators).

See com.isomorphic.criteria.criterion package for Criterion implementations.
