Match String Syntax

Construct matchers on this syntactic template in JSON format.

Logical AND Syntax

field:value pairs are in curly braces and separated by commas). Each field name can appear at most once.

{"fieldname1":"value1" , ... , "fieldnameN":"valueN"}

Logical OR Syntax

A logical OR can be expressed in one of two ways:

1. As a list of possible values for a given field.

{"f1": ["v1", "v2"]}

2. As a list of valid matchers, which need not be related to each other, and each could be a logical OR.

[{"f1": "v1"}, {"f1": "v2"}, ..., {"f1": "vn", "f2": "w1"}]

[{"f1": ["v1", "v2"]}, [{"f2": "w1"}, {"f2": "w2"}]]

Other Syntax Rules

Logical AND as well as logical OR syntax follow these rules:

• Enclose field names and string values in double-quote characters. You may precede quote characters with an escape character, as needed.
• Do not enclose boolean tokens in double-quote characters.
• Values can be long integers, strings, or the special boolean tokens true or false.
• When value is a string, its maximum length is 256 characters (see Restrictions on Names).
• Whitespace is ignored, except within double-quote characters.
