All Implemented Interfaces:

Comparator

public class LexiComparator

extends java.lang.Object

implements Comparator

This class implements a lexicographical Comparator for Strings. Clients should generally use StringComparator, as this class does not provide proper locale-specific ordering. However, the default Java text collators require loading very large (hundreds of K) tables, so, if a particular sort does not require language-specific ordering, this class may offer improved performance and reduced memory requirements.
