Module ant_matcher 

Ant-style Path Matcher

Provides Spring-style Ant path matching for URL patterns. This is an alternative to regex-based matching, providing more intuitive pattern syntax commonly used in Spring Security.

Pattern Syntax

• ? matches exactly one character
• * matches zero or more characters within a path segment
• ** matches zero or more path segments
• {name} captures a named path variable

Examples

use actix_security_core::http::security::ant_matcher::AntMatcher;

// Match any path under /api/
let matcher = AntMatcher::new("/api/**");
assert!(matcher.matches("/api/users"));
assert!(matcher.matches("/api/users/123/profile"));

// Match single segment wildcard
let matcher = AntMatcher::new("/users/*/profile");
assert!(matcher.matches("/users/123/profile"));
assert!(!matcher.matches("/users/123/456/profile"));

// Match single character
let matcher = AntMatcher::new("/file?.txt");
assert!(matcher.matches("/file1.txt"));
assert!(!matcher.matches("/file12.txt"));
