- psidev.psi.mi.jami.utils.comparator.interaction.CuratedInteractionBaseComparator

All Implemented Interfaces:

Comparator<Interaction>

Direct Known Subclasses:

UnambiguousCuratedInteractionBaseComparator
```
public class CuratedInteractionBaseComparator
extends Object
implements Comparator<Interaction>
```
Basic comparator for curated interactions. It will first compare the basic properties of an interaction using AbstractInteractionBaseComparator. Then it will compare the created dates (null created dates always come after) Finally it will compare the updated date (null updated date always come after)
