MatcherRule

Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition   ✅ Express Edition   ✅ Professional Edition   ✅ Enterprise Edition

Most matchers use references to MatcherRule, which is an XSD type that looks like this:

As always, when regular expressions are used, they are regular expressions with default flags.

In other words, a MatcherRule describes how a specific object type name (e.g. a class name representing a generated org.jooq.Schema) should be declared and referenced based on the object's input name.
