Interface EqualityComparator<T>

All Known Implementing Classes:
AbstractEqualityComparator, ATNConfigSet.ConfigEqualityComparator, ObjectEqualityComparator
public interface EqualityComparator<T>
This interface provides an abstract concept of object equality independent of Object.equals(java.lang.Object) (object equality) and the == operator (reference equality). It can be used to provide algorithm-specific unordered comparisons without requiring changes to the object itself.
