Java PathMatcher.matches() is a method in the Java PathMatcher interface used to match a Java Path against a specific pattern. It allows the comparison of file paths using glob-like patterns, which is useful for filtering or searching files in a file system. Introduced in Java 2007 with Java 7, matches() simplifies operations that involve matching paths based on patterns, making it useful for file management, backup systems, or file system indexing.
