> Go Globbing Library.
## Install
```shell
go get github.com/gobwas/glob
```
## Example
```go
package main
import "github.com/gobwas/glob"
func main() {
var g glob.Glob
// create simple glob
g = glob.MustCompile("*.github.com")
g.Match("api.github.com") // true
// create new glob with set of delimiters as ["."]
g = glob.MustCompile("api.*.com", ".")
g.Match("api.github.com") // true
g.Match("api.gi.hub.com") // false
// create new glob with set of delimiters as ["."]
// but now with super wildcard
g = glob.MustCompile("api.**.com", ".")
g.Match("api.github.com") // true
g.Match("api.gi.hub.com") // true
// create glob with single symbol wildcard
g = glob.MustCompile("?at")
g.Match("cat") // true
g.Match("fat") // true
g.Match("at") // false
// create glob with single symbol wildcard and delimiters ["f"]
g = glob.MustCompile("?at", "f")
g.Match("cat") // true
g.Match("fat") // false
g.Match("at") // false
// create glob with character-list matchers
g = glob.MustCompile("[abc]at")
g.Match("cat") // true
g.Match("bat") // true
g.Match("fat") // false
g.Match("at") // false
// create glob with character-list matchers
g = glob.MustCompile("[!abc]at")
g.Match("cat") // false
g.Match("bat") // false
g.Match("fat") // true
g.Match("at") // false
// create glob with character-range matchers
g = glob.MustCompile("[a-c]at")
g.Match("cat") // true
g.Match("bat") // true
g.Match("fat") // false
g.Match("at") // false
// create glob with character-range matchers
g = glob.MustCompile("[!a-c]at")
g.Match("cat") // false
g.Match("bat") // false
g.Match("fat") // true
g.Match("at") // false
// create glob with pattern-alternatives list
g = glob.MustCompile("{cat,bat,[fr]at}")
g.Match("cat") // true
g.Match("bat") // true
g.Match("fat") // true
g.Match("rat") // true
g.Match("at") // false
g.Match("zat") // false
}
```
## Performance
This library is created for compile-once patterns. This means, that compilation could take time, but
strings matching is done faster, than in case when always parsing template.
If you will not use compiled `glob.Glob` object, and do `g := glob.MustCompile(pattern); g.Match(...)` every time, then your code will be much more slower.
Run `go test -bench=.` from source root to see the benchmarks:
Pattern | Fixture | Operations | Speed (ns/op)
--------|---------|------------|--------------
`[a-z][!a-x]*cat*[h][!b]*eyes*` | `my cat has very bright eyes` | 2000000 | 527
`https://*.google.*` | `https://account.google.com` | 10000000 | 121
`{https://*.google.*,*yandex.*,*yahoo.*,*mail.ru}` | `http://yahoo.com` | 10000000 | 167
`{https://*gobwas.com,http://exclude.gobwas.com}` | `https://safe.gobwas.com` | 50000000 | 24.7
`abc*` | `abcdef` | 200000000 | 9.49
`*def` | `abcdef` | 200000000 | 9.60
`ab*ef` | `abcdef` | 100000000 | 15.2
The same things with `regexp` package:
Pattern | Fixture | Operations | Speed (ns/op)
--------|---------|------------|--------------
`^[a-z][^a-x].*cat.*[h][^b].*eyes.*$` | `my cat has very bright eyes` | 500000 | 2553
`^https:\/\/.*\.google\..*$` | `https://account.google.com` | 1000000 | 1205
`^(https:\/\/.*\.google\..*|.*yandex\..*|.*yahoo\..*|.*mail\.ru)$` | `http://yahoo.com` | 1000000 | 1435
`^(https:\/\/.*gobwas\.com|http://exclude.gobwas.com)$` | `https://safe.gobwas.com` | 1000000 | 1039
`^abc.*$` | `abcdef` | 3000000 | 275
`^.*def$` | `abcdef` | 5000000 | 464
`^ab.*ef$` | `abcdef` | 5000000 | 395

## Syntax
Syntax is inspired by [standard wildcards](http://tldp.org/LDP/GNU-Linux-Tools-Summary/html/x11655.htm),
except that `**` is aka super-asterisk, that do not sensitive for separators.
