A highly optimized JavaScript library for wildcard and glob pattern matching, serving as a faster drop-in replacement for minimatch and multimatch. It supports extended globbing features including extglobs, braces, POSIX bracket expressions, and regex character classes with Bash 4.3 parity.
Use cases
- match file paths against glob patterns in node.js
- filter lists of filenames with wildcards
- replace minimatch with a faster glob matcher
- match strings using extglobs and brace expansion
- implement ignore/include file patterns in a build tool
- match multiple glob patterns against a list of paths
When to choose
- you need fast, accurate glob matching in a JavaScript or Node.js project
- you want a drop-in minimatch or multimatch replacement with better performance
- you need extended glob features like extglobs, braces, and POSIX character classes
- you're building tooling that filters files by patterns (linters, bundlers, test runners)
When to avoid
- you need actual filesystem globbing/walking rather than pattern matching on strings
- you're not working in JavaScript/Node.js
- you need zero dependencies and minimal footprint (consider picomatch instead)
