Configurable object comparators - used to check "equality". Configurability enables these objects to enhance the flexibility of dynamic modules that can switch application behavior based on application or user context. For example, configurable comparators are used by Result Matchers to provide flexibility in result field matching.

The comparator set consists of two types of comparators, basic comparators that operate directly on the comparable object and composite comparators that may coordinate separate object comparison operations or apply selection, lookup or matching processes prior to comparison.
