M - The matchee type.

All Superinterfaces:

org.refcodes.mixin.AliasAccessor, Matchable<M>, org.refcodes.mixin.Schemable

All Known Subinterfaces:

WildcardMatcher

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractMatcheeMatcher, AbstractMatcher, AbstractMatcherComposite, AbstractWildcardMatcher, AndMatcher, AnyMatcher, EqualWithMatcher, GreaterOrEqualThanMatcher, GreaterThanMatcher, IsAssignableFromMatcher, LessOrEqualThanMatcher, LessThanMatcher, NoneMatcher, NotEqualWithMatcher, NotMatcher, OrMatcher, PathMatcher, RegExpMatcher

Functional Interface:

This is a functional interface and can therefore be used as the assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference.

@FunctionalInterface
public interface Matcher<M>
extends Matchable<M>, org.refcodes.mixin.Schemable, org.refcodes.mixin.AliasAccessor

The matcher is used to test whether a matchee matches certain criteria. A matcher may be an own implementation or it may get nested (inspired by http://code.mycila.com/wiki/MycilaEvent) having different matchers which in combination do some custom matching as needed by the business logic. The method toSchema() discovers a Schema from a Matcher for documenting or debugging purposes of such a nested Matcher structure,
