[![GoDoc][godoc-image]][godoc-url] [![Build Status][travis-image]][travis-url]

> 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
    
    // quote meta characters and then create simple glob 
    g = glob.MustCompile(glob.QuoteMeta("*.github.com"))
    g.Match("*.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 | 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\..*$` | `https://account.google.com` | `true` | 1205
`^https:\/\/.*\.google\..*$` | `https://google.com` | `false` | 767
`^(https:\/\/.*\.google\..*|.*yandex\..*|.*yahoo\..*|.*mail\.ru)$` | `http://yahoo.com` | `true` | 1435
`^(https:\/\/.*\.google\..*|.*yandex\..*|.*yahoo\..*|.*mail\.ru)$` | `http://google.com` | `false` | 1674
`^(https:\/\/.*gobwas\.com|http://exclude.gobwas.com)$` | `https://safe.gobwas.com` | `true` | 1039
`^(https:\/\/.*gobwas\.com|http://exclude.gobwas.com)$` | `http://safe.gobwas.com` | `false` | 272
`^abc.*$` | `abcdef` | `true` | 237
`^abc.*$` | `af` | `false` | 100
`^.*def$` | `abcdef` | `true` | 464
`^.*def$` | `af` | `false` | 265
`^ab.*ef$` | `abcdef` | `true` | 375
`^ab.*ef$` | `af` | `false` | 145

## 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.
