```
public enum OPERATOR
extends Enum<OPERATOR>
```
A series of operators supported by this library, encapsulates all intelligence around them. Some of the operators may be determined from user input, for these getUserInput() } has a value.

Method Summary

All Methods Static Methods Instance Methods Concrete Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`static boolean`	`eq(String value)`	check if a string (user value) indicates a greater/smaller than or equal comparison
`static OPERATOR`	`fromToken(String token)`
`static OPERATOR`	`fromUserInput(String input)`
`String`	`getToken()`
`String`	`getUserInput()`	When null the OPERATOR cannot be determined from user input
`static boolean`	`greater(String value)`	check if a string (user value) indicates a greater than comparison
`static boolean`	`isAnd(String value)`	true when " AND " is found in the given string and it comes before an optional " OR " and there are at least two terms
`static boolean`	`isBetween(String value)`
`boolean`	`isOperatorInUserInput(String input)`	Is this operator in user input
`static boolean`	`isOr(String value)`	true when " OR " is found in the given string and it comes before an optional " AND " and there are at least two terms
`static boolean`	`negation(String value)`	check if a string (user value) indicates a negation
`static OPERATOR`	`operator(String operator, String value, boolean syntaxInValue)`	Returns an operator from the value when syntaxInValue is true and the value contains one of the supported operators, otherwise the operator is determined from the operator argument
`static boolean`	`operatorInUserInput(String input)`	Does user input contain an operator
`static boolean`	`smaller(String value)`	check if a string (user value) indicates a smaller than comparison.
`static String`	`stripSyntax(String value)`
`String`	`toString()`	returns the token wrapped in spaces, so string concatenation in query building can be used.
`static boolean`	`valueIsOperator(String s, boolean syntaxInValue)`	users may input "(!)is null", "(!)is empty", "(!)is blank", in that case there is no parameter value to be set for a key.
`static OPERATOR`	`valueOf(String name)`	Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.
`static OPERATOR[]`	`values()`	Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.

public static OPERATOR[] values()
```
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
    for (OPERATOR c : OPERATOR.values()) System.out.println(c);

    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static OPERATOR valueOf(String name)
```
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
    
    Returns:
    
    the enum constant with the specified name
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    
    NullPointerException - if the argument is null
  - negation
