    "description": "Filters the bands in the data cube so that bands that don't match any of the criteria are dropped from the data cube. The data cube is expected to have only one dimension of type `bands`. Fails with a `DimensionMissing` exception if no such dimension exists.\n\nThe following criteria can be used to select bands:\n\n* `bands`: band name or common band name (e.g. `B01`, `B8A`, `red` or `nir`)\n* `wavelengths`: ranges of wavelengths in micrometers (μm) (e.g. 0.5 - 0.6)\n\nAll these information are exposed in the band metadata of the collection. To keep algorithms interoperable it is recommended to prefer the common band names or the wavelengths over band names that are specific to the collection and/or back-end.\n\nIf multiple criteria are specified, any of them must match and not all of them, i.e. they are combined with an OR-operation. If no criteria are specified, the `BandFilterParameterMissing` exception must be thrown.\n\n**Important:** The order of the specified array defines the order of the bands in the data cube, which can be important for subsequent processes. If multiple bands are matched by a single criterion (e.g. a range of wavelengths), they stay in the original order.",
