url-matcher 0.4.0

URL matching library that relates URLs with resources. Rules are defined using simple pattern definitions. It is simpler and faster than using regular expressions if the rules involves many domains.

To illustrate it with an example, imagine that you have several proxy servers and you want to route requests to the right one. You could define the following rules:

• site1.com →︎ us_proxy

• site2.com/uk →︎ uk_proxy

• site2.com/ie →︎ ie_proxy

All URLs from site1.com should use the US proxy. The situation for site2.com URLs are different: if the path starts with /uk, then use the UK proxy, otherwise use the IE proxy. This library allows to create a matcher that can be used to match URLs with the right proxy using these rules.

Have a look to https://github.com/zytedata/url-matcher/blob/main/url_matcher/example.py for an example of usage.
