  Class and Description
  AbstractQuery The `AbstractQuery` interface defines functionality that is common to both top-level queries and subqueries.
  CollectionJoin The `CollectionJoin` interface is the type of the result of joining to a collection over an association or element collection that has been specified as a `java.util.Collection`.
  CommonAbstractCriteria The `CommonAbstractCriteria` interface defines functionality that is common to both top-level criteria queries and subqueries as well as to update and delete criteria operations.
  CompoundSelection The `CompoundSelection` interface defines a compound selection item (tuple, array, or result of constructor).
  CriteriaBuilder.Case Interface used to build general case expressions.
  CriteriaBuilder.Coalesce Interface used to build coalesce expressions.
  CriteriaBuilder.In Interface used to build in predicates.
  CriteriaBuilder.SimpleCase Interface used to build simple case expressions.
  CriteriaBuilder.Trimspec Used to specify how strings are trimmed.
  CriteriaDelete The `CriteriaDelete` interface defines functionality for performing bulk delete operations using the Criteria API
  CriteriaQuery The `CriteriaQuery` interface defines functionality that is specific to top-level queries.
  CriteriaUpdate The `CriteriaUpdate` interface defines functionality for performing bulk update operations using the Criteria API.
  Expression Type for query expressions.
  Fetch Represents a join-fetched association or attribute.
  FetchParent Represents an element of the from clause which may function as the parent of Fetches.
  From Represents a bound type, usually an entity that appears in the from clause, but may also be an embeddable belonging to an entity in the from clause.
  Join A join to an entity, embeddable, or basic type.
  JoinType Defines the three types of joins.
  ListJoin The `ListJoin` interface is the type of the result of joining to a collection over an association or element collection that has been specified as a `java.util.List`.
  MapJoin The `MapJoin` interface is the type of the result of joining to a collection over an association or element collection that has been specified as a `java.util.Map`.
  Order An object that defines an ordering over the query results.
  ParameterExpression Type of criteria query parameter expressions.
  Path Represents a simple or compound attribute path from a bound type or collection, and is a "primitive" expression.
  PluralJoin The `PluralJoin` interface defines functionality that is common to joins to all collection types.
  Predicate The type of a simple or compound predicate: a conjunction or disjunction of restrictions.
  Predicate.BooleanOperator
  Root A root type in the from clause.
  Selection The `Selection` interface defines an item that is to be returned in a query result.
  SetJoin The `SetJoin` interface is the type of the result of joining to a collection over an association or element collection that has been specified as a `java.util.Set`.
  Subquery The `Subquery` interface defines functionality that is specific to subqueries.
