public enum Combinator
extends Enum<Combinator>

Enumeration of CSS selector combinators used to express relationships between elements.

Combinators define how CSS selectors relate to each other in the document tree:

• NONE - No combinator, selectors are independent
• DESCENDANT - Matches descendants (space: "div p")
• CHILD - Matches direct children only ("div > p")
• ADJACENT_SIBLING - Matches immediate next sibling ("h1 + p")
• GENERAL_SIBLING - Matches all following siblings ("h1 ~ p")
