webextension_pattern

webextension_pattern implements support for matching URLs with a powerful and intuitive pattern. It's simpler than regular expressions, and specifically tailored to URL matching. It's the format used by Mozilla's WebExtensions for matching URLs, as well as Google Chrome, and you can find their documentation here:

This crate aims to be compatible with Mozilla's implementation, specifically, but also supports a "relaxed" mode that does not strictly adhere, for user-friendliness.

These patterns end up looking like this:

  • *://google.com/foo*bar
  • https://*.mozilla.org/specific_path?k=1
  • *://*/index.php
  • (relaxed mode) *.facebook.com
