wildmatch

Match strings against a simple wildcard pattern. Tests a wildcard pattern p against an input string s. Returns true only when p matches the entirety of s.

See also the example described on wikipedia for matching wildcards.

• ? matches exactly one occurrence of any character.
• * matches arbitrary many (including zero) occurrences of any character.
• No escape characters are defined.

For example the pattern ca? will match cat or car. The pattern https://* will match all https urls, such as https://google.de or https://github.com/becheran/wildmatch.

Compared to the rust regex library, wildmatch pattern compile much faster and match with about the same speed.

The library only depends on the rust stdlib.

See the documentation for usage and more examples.
