DelegatingRouteMatcher

public abstract class RouteMatcher<R>
extends Object

A matcher for evaluating whether a route matches the incoming request. Implementing class can either return a RouteMatch, if the route matches, or null, if the route does not match, from the evaluate(Context, Object) method.

Implementing classes must implement both equals(Object) and hashCode() methods as each instance of a RouteMatcher will be used as the key for a route.
