Package	Weekly downloads	Gzip	Last release	Module	Comparison
parse-glob Parse a glob pattern into an object of tokens.	2.4m	-	11 years ago	CommonJS	-
extglob Extended glob support for JavaScript. Adds (almost) the expressive power of regular expressions to glob patterns.	13.4m	-	8 years ago	CommonJS	-
nanomatch Fast, minimal glob matcher for node.js. Similar to micromatch, minimatch and multimatch, but complete Bash 4.3 wildcard support only (no support for exglobs, posix brackets or braces)	9.2m	-	8 years ago	CommonJS	-
is-glob Returns `true` if the given string looks like a glob pattern or an extglob pattern. This makes it easy to create code that only uses external modules like node-glob when necessary, resulting in much faster code execution and initialization time, and a bet	152.5m	-	4 years ago	CommonJS	-
is-extglob Returns true if a string has an extglob.	141.4m	-	9 years ago	CommonJS	-
glob-stream Readable streamx interface over anymatch.	2.6m	-	1 year ago	CommonJS	-
anymatch Matches strings against configurable strings, globs, regular expressions, and/or functions	90.7m	-	3 years ago	-	-
