{
    "filters": []
}

{
    "filters": [
        {
            "field":"average age",
            "operators":{
                "lt": 40,
                "gt": 25
            }
        },
        {
            "field": "distance from city center",
            "operators":{
                "lt": 10
            }
        },
        {
            "field": "average income",
            "operators":{
                "sort": "desc"
            }
        
        }
    ]
}

{
    "filters": [
        {
            "field":"average income",
            "operators":{
                "gt": 99000
            }
        },
        {
            "field":"average age",
            "operators":{
            	"gt": 30,
                "sort": "ascd"
            }
        }
    ]
}

Notice: Default sort is asc unless desc is written

To do:

• unittest for each filter
• no filter - return all
• Create a unified function for checking if number / string etc...
