DefaultValueExtractor (Comparator 3.1.0 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.bremersee.comparator.DefaultValueExtractor

All Implemented Interfaces:

ValueExtractor
```
public class DefaultValueExtractor
extends Object
implements ValueExtractor
```
The default value extractor supports field names and paths as described in SortOrder. A field name can be just the field name (for example firstName), a method name, that is not generated by ValueExtractor.getPossibleMethodNames(String) (for example toString) or a path of field names separated by dots (.), for example person.firstName.
