## Mapping Patterns
|
|
|
|
In AVAP, mapping patterns are used to match mapping elements, such as dictionaries. Here is the syntax and behavior of mapping patterns:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
mapping_pattern ::= { [items_pattern] }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Mapping Patterns are designed to match elements within mappings, such as dictionaries. They use specific rules to determine if a pattern matches the given mapping.
|
|
|
|
* Syntax: Mapping patterns are enclosed in curly braces `{ ... }` . The `items_pattern` specifies the pattern for the mapping items.
|
|
* Matching Rules: The rules for matching mapping patterns include checking for key-value pairs in the mapping and ensuring they align with the specified pattern.
|
|
* Usage: Mapping patterns are useful for destructuring dictionaries and other mapping types in a concise manner.
|

Mapping patterns enhance pattern matching capabilities by allowing for specific and flexible matching of dictionary elements.
