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.

Benchmark wildmatch regex

compiling/complex 122 ns 177,510 ns

The library only depends on the rust stdlib.
