    Use Cases & Benefits

    • Provides a fast and efficient globbing library for Node.js to match filesystem paths using Unix Bash-like patterns.
    • Delivers high performance with support for multiple pattern types, synchronous, asynchronous, and stream APIs, plus error tolerance.
    • Use for quickly finding files matching complex patterns in large Node.js projects with minimal latency.
    • Use for building custom file watchers or task runners that require efficient directory scanning and pattern matching.
    • Use for filtering and processing filesystem entries in CLI tools or build scripts that need flexible glob pattern support.

    From the README

    It's a very fast and efficient glob library for Node.js.

    This package provides methods for traversing the file system and returning pathnames that matched a defined set of a specified pattern according to the rules used by the Unix Bash shell with some simplifications, meanwhile results are returned in arbitrary order. Quick, simple, effective.
