Interface ObjectFilter

public interface ObjectFilter

This interface is used to filter objects. The caller passes an implementing class to a method and receives callbacks that allow the caller to filter the output objects as desired. Filters can either build up state within themselves or can merely block or pass objects based on a filtering algorithm.

Method Summary
`Object` | `filter(Object obj)` The main filtering method on the interface.
`void` | `reset()` Stateful filters should implement this interface to allow them to be reset to an intial state.
