Java PathMatcher is an interface in Java's java.nio.file package that is used for matching Java Paths against a specific pattern. It is commonly used when working with file system paths and allows for advanced pattern matching using glob expressions. Introduced in Java 2007 with Java 7, PathMatcher simplifies operations that involve pattern-based path searching or file filtering, making it useful for file manipulation tasks.
