Interface MoleculeQueryStrategy

All Superinterfaces:

ConfigurationComparator, ConformationComparator, IsomorphismTraverser

All Known Implementing Classes:

BilateralQueryStrategy, UnilateralQueryStrategy

public interface MoleculeQueryStrategy

extends IsomorphismTraverser, ConfigurationComparator, ConformationComparator

A strategy for MoleculeQueries. Concrete implementations of MoleculeQueryStrategy can be used to dynamically compose query behavior at runtime, reducing the need to subclass MoleculeQuery implementations.
