ComparToEv

ComparToEv is a Java library designed to simplify the process of comparing objects in a more expressive and fluent manner. It provides a utility class that offers static methods for creating comparison logic, which can then be chained together to build complex comparison rules. The primary goal of ComparToEv is to reduce the boilerplate code often associated with implementing the `Comparable` interface or writing custom `Comparator` implementations.

The library introduces methods like `compareTo`, `comparing`, and `thenComparing` that allow developers to specify fields or properties to be used for comparison. For instance, one can easily sort a collection of objects based on multiple criteria. The `compareTo` method typically takes a function that extracts a comparable value from an object, such as a getter method reference. Subsequent calls to `thenComparing` can be chained to define secondary, tertiary, and so on, sorting orders.

ComparToEv aims to improve code readability and maintainability by abstracting away the intricacies of object comparison. It supports primitive types, strings, and other objects that implement `Comparable`. The library is open-source and can be integrated into Java projects as a dependency. Its design emphasizes immutability and functional programming principles, making it a modern approach to handling comparisons in Java applications.
