Parse String into Comparator Type in Java

Given the Strings

String str1 = "==";
String str2 = "<=";
String str3 = "!=";
...

Is there a way to parse those Strings into their corresponding comparator types to use them directly in a comparison (like "comparator.parseComparator(str1)")? Or do i need to find a different way?

Make a map<String, Comparator>

where the key is the operator you want to apply, and the object is the relevant Comparator instance.

Get the relevant comparator by key and apply it whenever you want.
