public interface RepeatableMatcher
extends RootNode

Defines API of a repeatable matcher. It is kind of RootNode, where one RootNode may match 0, 1 or more `target` nodes.

Method Detail

getMatchingStrategy

Quantifier getMatchingStrategy()

If two RepeatableMatchers in a list are matching the same element, then returned Quantifier defines how resolve this conflict

Returns:

Quantifier

isRepeatable

default boolean isRepeatable()

Returns:

true if this matcher can be applied more then once in the same container of targets Note: even if false, it may be applied again to another container and to match EQUAL value

isMandatory

default boolean isMandatory(ImmutableMap parameters)

Parameters:

parameters - matching parameters

Returns:

true if this ValueResolver MUST match with next target in the state defined by current `parameters`. false if match is optional

isTryNextMatch

boolean isTryNextMatch(ImmutableMap parameters)

Parameters:

parameters - matching parameters

Returns:

true if this ValueResolver should be processed again to match next target in the state defined by current `parameters`.
