Class RegexNamespace

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Namespace
    public class RegexNamespace
extends Object
implements Namespace

    The RegexNamespace matches a subject based on one or more regex patterns.

     

    Regex is an abbreviation for "regular expression". Regular expression libraries provide rich string matching capabilities based upon string patterns ("regular expressions"). Different regular expression libraries vary in their syntax and functionality. This class uses the library provided by the Java Pattern class.

     

    RegexNamespace can contain include regex patterns and exclude patterns. A subject matches a RegexNamespace if it matches at least one of the namespace's include regex patterns and does not match any of its exclude patterns.
