      public class Criterion
      extends Criteria

  An object representing a criterion to apply to a record.

  A criterion is part of the definition of an `AdvancedCriteria` object, which is used to filter records according to search criteria.

  A criterion consists of an `operator` and typically a `fieldName` from a `Record` and a `value` to compare to. However some operators either don't require a value (eg, isNull) or act on other criteria rather than directly on a `Record`'s fields (eg, the "and" and "or" logical operators).

  A shortcut form is also allowed where only `fieldName` and `value` values are provided. In this case the `operator` is assumed to be "equals".

    - #### getOrCreateRef

          public static Criterion getOrCreateRef(com.google.gwt.core.client.JavaScriptObject jsObj)

    - #### setCriteria

          public void setCriteria(Criterion... criteria)

      For a criterion with an operator that acts on other criteria (eg "and", "or"), a list of sub-criteria that are grouped together by the operator.
      Parameters:
        `criteria` - Default value is null

    - #### getCriteria

          public Criterion[] getCriteria()

      For a criterion with an operator that acts on other criteria (eg "and", "or"), a list of sub-criteria that are grouped together by the operator.
      Returns:
        Criterion...

    - #### setFieldName

          public void setFieldName(java.lang.String fieldName)

      Name of the field in each `Record` that this criterion applies to. Not applicable for a criterion with `sub-criteria`. Can be specified as a dataPath to allow matching nested objects. Use '/' as delimiters for dataPath. See `dataPath` for more information.
      Parameters:
        `fieldName` - Default value is null

    - #### getFieldName

          public java.lang.String getFieldName()

      Name of the field in each `Record` that this criterion applies to. Not applicable for a criterion with `sub-criteria`. Can be specified as a dataPath to allow matching nested objects. Use '/' as delimiters for dataPath. See `dataPath` for more information.
      Returns:
        String

    - #### setOperator

          public void setOperator(OperatorId operator)

      Operator this criterion applies.
      Parameters:
        `operator` - Default value is null

    - #### getOperator

          public OperatorId getOperator()

      Operator this criterion applies.
      Returns:
        OperatorId

    - #### setValuePath

          public void setValuePath(java.lang.String valuePath)

      Wherever `DynamicCriteria` are supported, `valuePath` can be specified as a path in the current `Canvas.ruleScope` as an alternative to setting a fixed `value`.

      Note: `valuePath` vs setting a path for `fieldName`:

      - use a path for `criterion.fieldName` when criteria will be matched against a nested data structure.
      - use `criterion.valuePath` when the values used in filtering should be dynamically derived based on the `Canvas.ruleScope`. This does not imply that the criteria will be matched against a nested structure.
      Parameters:
        `valuePath` - Default value is null

    - #### getValuePath

          public java.lang.String getValuePath()

      Wherever `DynamicCriteria` are supported, `valuePath` can be specified as a path in the current `Canvas.ruleScope` as an alternative to setting a fixed `value`.

      Note: `valuePath` vs setting a path for `fieldName`:

      - use a path for `criterion.fieldName` when criteria will be matched against a nested data structure.
      - use `criterion.valuePath` when the values used in filtering should be dynamically derived based on the `Canvas.ruleScope`. This does not imply that the criteria will be matched against a nested structure.
      Returns:
        String

    - #### instanceOf

          public static final boolean instanceOf(java.lang.Object object)

    - #### addCriteria

          public void addCriteria(Criterion c)

      Adds a new criteria.

      If the present criteria operation is "and", the new criteria is appended to the criteria list.

      Otherwise, the existing criteria is replaced with an "and" criteria, with two sub-criteria: the existing criteria, and the passed criteria.

      Note that if the existing criteria was empty (as would happen if new AdvancedCriteria() were called with no arguments), an "and" operator will still be introduced, but the passed criteria will be the only sub-criteria.

      To add an additional Criterion when using the "or" operator, use `appendToCriterionList(com.smartgwt.client.data.Criterion)`.

      Parameters:
        `c` - the passed criteria object

    - #### addCriteria

          public void addCriteria(Criteria c)

      Adds a new criteria. If the passed criteria is a simple Criteria or Criterion, it will turn into AdvancedCriteria, and will be added to the existent criteria.
      Overrides:
        `addCriteria` in class `Criteria`
      Parameters:
        `c` - the passed criteria object
