TopicSelectoris a value that identifies one or more topics.Depending on where it is used, a selector may be evaluated by either the server or the client library. For example, the server evaluates the selector used to subscribe to a topic. In contrast, the selector used to register a topic handler is evaluated by the client. Applications do not normally need to evaluate selectors, but may do so using selects.
A client may receive a selector providing the context for certain operations. For example, to allow it to veto subscriptions. Limited ability to query the selector's TopicSelector.type and associated expression is provided.
Selectors may be created using TopicSelectors.
