Constructor	Description
`PathPatternRouteMatcher()`	Default constructor with `PathPatternParser` customized for `MESSAGE_ROUTE` and without matching of trailing separator.
`PathPatternRouteMatcher(PathPatternParser parser)`	Constructor with given `PathPatternParser`.

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Concrete Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`String`	`combine(String pattern1, String pattern2)`	Combines two patterns into a single pattern.
`Comparator<String>`	`getPatternComparator(RouteMatcher.Route route)`	Given a route, return a `Comparator` suitable for sorting patterns in order of explicitness for that route, so that more specific patterns come before more generic ones.
`boolean`	`isPattern(String route)`	Whether the given `route` contains pattern syntax which requires the `RouteMatcher.match(String, Route)` method, or if it is a regular String that could be compared directly to others.
`boolean`	`match(String pattern, RouteMatcher.Route route)`	Match the given route against the given pattern.
`Map<String,String>`	`matchAndExtract(String pattern, RouteMatcher.Route route)`	Match the pattern to the route and extract template variables.
`RouteMatcher.Route`	`parseRoute(String routeValue)`	Return a parsed representation of the given route.

    the parsed representation of the route
  - isPattern
```
public boolean isPattern(String route)
```
    Description copied from interface: RouteMatcher
    Whether the given route contains pattern syntax which requires the RouteMatcher.match(String, Route) method, or if it is a regular String that could be compared directly to others.
    Specified by:
    isPattern in interface RouteMatcher
    Parameters:
    route - the route to check
    Returns:
    true if the given route represents a pattern
  - combine

```
public boolean match(String pattern,
                     RouteMatcher.Route route)
```
    Description copied from interface: RouteMatcher
    Match the given route against the given pattern.
    Specified by:
    match in interface RouteMatcher
    Parameters:
    pattern - the pattern to try to match

    Returns:
    true if there is a match, false otherwise
  - matchAndExtract
```
@Nullable
public Map<String,String> matchAndExtract(String pattern,
                                                RouteMatcher.Route route)
```
    Description copied from interface: RouteMatcher
    Match the pattern to the route and extract template variables.
    Specified by:
    matchAndExtract in interface RouteMatcher
    Parameters:
    pattern - the pattern, possibly containing templates variables
    route - the route to extract template variables from
    Returns:

  - getPatternComparator
```
public Comparator<String> getPatternComparator(RouteMatcher.Route route)
```
    Description copied from interface: RouteMatcher
    Given a route, return a Comparator suitable for sorting patterns in order of explicitness for that route, so that more specific patterns come before more generic ones.
