public class CompareComply
IBM Watson™ Compare and Comply is discontinued. Existing instances are supported until 30 November 2021, but as of 1 December 2020, you can’t create instances. Any instance that exists on 30 November 2021 will be deleted. Consider migrating to Watson Discovery Premium on IBM Cloud for your Compare and Comply use cases. To start the migration process, visit https://ibm.biz/contact-wdc-premium. {: deprecated} Compare and Comply analyzes governing documents to provide details about critical aspects of the documents.

public let authenticator: Authenticator
-
Create a
CompareComply
object.If an authenticator is not supplied, the initializer will retrieve credentials from the environment or a local credentials file and construct an appropriate authenticator using these credentials. The credentials file can be downloaded from your service instance on IBM Cloud as ibm-credentials.env. Make sure to add the credentials file to your project so that it can be loaded at runtime.
If an authenticator is not supplied and credentials are not available in the environment or a local credentials file, initialization will fail by throwing an exception. In that case, try another initializer that directly passes in the credentials.
