GoDoc Build Status

Go Globbing Library.

Install

    go get github.com/gobwas/glob

Example

package main

import "github.com/gobwas/glob"

func main() {
    var g glob.Glob
    
    // create simple glob
    g = glob.MustCompile("*.git.luolix.top")
    g.Match("api.github.com") // true
    
    // quote meta characters and then create simple glob 
    g = glob.MustCompile(glob.QuoteMeta("*.git.luolix.top"))
    g.Match("*.git.luolix.top") // 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 Match Speed (ns/op)
[a-z][!a-x]*cat*[h][!b]*eyes* my cat has very bright eyes true 432
[a-z][!a-x]*cat*[h][!b]*eyes* my dog has very bright eyes false 199
https://*.google.* https://account.google.com true 96
https://*.google.* https://google.com false 66
{https://*.google.*,*yandex.*,*yahoo.*,*mail.ru} http://yahoo.com true 163
{https://*.google.*,*yandex.*,*yahoo.*,*mail.ru} http://google.com false 197
{https://*gobwas.com,http://exclude.gobwas.com} https://safe.gobwas.com true 22
{https://*gobwas.com,http://exclude.gobwas.com} http://safe.gobwas.com false 24
abc* abcdef true 8.15
abc* af false 5.68
*def abcdef true 8.84
*def af false 5.74
ab*ef abcdef true 15.2
ab*ef af false 10.4

The same things with regexp package:

Pattern Fixture Match Speed (ns/op)
^[a-z][^a-x].*cat.*[h][^b].*eyes.*$ my cat has very bright eyes true 2553
^[a-z][^a-x].*cat.*[h][^b].*eyes.*$ my dog has very bright eyes false 1383
^https:\/\/.*\.google\..*$ https://account.google.com true 1205

Syntax

Syntax is inspired by standard wildcards, except that ** is aka super-asterisk, that do not sensitive for separators.
