ASTPattern (PMD Java 7.0.0 API)

All Superinterfaces:

GenericNode<JavaNode>, JavaNode, JjtreeNode<JavaNode>, Node, Reportable, TextAvailableNode

All Known Implementing Classes:

ASTRecordPattern, ASTTypePattern, ASTUnnamedPattern
```
public interface ASTPattern
extends JavaNode
```
A pattern for pattern matching constructs like InstanceOfExpression or within a ASTSwitchLabel). This is a JDK 16 feature. The ASTRecordPattern is a JDK 21 feature.
This interface is implemented by all forms of patterns.
```
 Pattern ::=   TypePattern | RecordPattern

 
```
