An extremely fast glob matching library with support for wildcards, character classes, and brace expansion.
- Linear time matching. No exponential backtracking.
- Zero allocations.
- No regex compilation. Matching occurs on the glob pattern in place.
- Thousands of tests based on Bash and micromatch.

assert!(glob_match("some/**/{a,b,c}/**/needle.txt", "some/path/a/to/the/needle.txt"));| Syntax | Meaning |
|---|---|
? |
Matches any single character. |
* |
Matches zero or more characters, except for path separators (e.g. /). |
** |
Matches zero or more characters, including path separators. Must match a complete path segment (i.e. followed by a / or the end of the pattern). |
[ab] |
Matches one of the characters contained in the brackets. Character ranges, e.g. [a-z] are also supported. Use [!ab] or [^ab] to match any character except those contained in the brackets. |
{a,b} |
Matches one of the patterns contained in the braces. Any of the wildcard characters can be used in the sub-patterns. Braces may be nested up to 10 levels deep. |
! |
When at the start of the glob, this negates the result. Multiple ! characters negate the glob multiple times. |
\ |
A backslash character may be used to escape any of the above special characters. |
