|
|
* Interface for collections that allow efficient filtering with an expression API.
|
|
*
|
|
* Goal of this interface is a backend independent method to fetch elements
|
|
* from a collections. {@link Expression} is crafted in a way that you can
|
|
* implement queries from both in-memory and database-backed collections.
|
|
*
|
|
* For database backed collections this allows very efficient access by
|
|
* utilizing the query APIs, for example SQL in the ORM. Applications using
|
|
* this API can implement efficient database access without having to ask the
|
|
* EntityManager or Repositories.
