Separators

SEPARATOR_SYMBOL

Indicates the character used for delimiting segments.

Default value: / (slash)

Symbol	Pattern	Segments
/	a/b/c	a, b and c
.	a.b.c	a, b and c
;	a;b;c	a, b and c

CAPTURE_MODE

Default value: CAPTURE_LEFT | ALLOW_OPT_TRAIL

The value of this option must be a bitmask consisting of the following options:

CAPTURE_LEFT

If present, this affects segments that contain only one optional placeholder. If that segment has a separator on the left side, then the separator becomes optional.

For {a}/{b?} pattern, the regex looks like ^{a}(/{b})?$, where {a} and {b} are regex patterns, and / is separator symbol.

CAPTURE_RIGHT

If present, this affects segments that contain only one optional placeholder. If that segment has a separator on the right side, then the separator becomes optional.

For {a?}/{b} pattern, the regex looks like ^({a}/)?{b}$, where {a} and {b} are regex patterns, and / is separator.

ALLOW_OPT_TRAIL

If present, this option will allow a trailing separator symbol in the value.

For {a} pattern, the regex looks like ^{a}/?$, where {a} is a regex pattern, and / is separator.

Examples

Pattern	Path	Matches if trailing / no trailing
a/b/c	a/b/c	Yes / Yes
a/b/c	a/b/c/	Yes / No
a/b/c/	a/b/c	Yes / No
a/b/c/	a/b/c/	Yes / Yes
