Classes

CustomMatcher
A base class for Matcher instances that match based on some feature of the value under test.
Description
Matchers build up their error messages by appending to Description objects.
isInstanceOf<T>
DEPRECATED Use isA instead.
Matcher
The base class for all matchers.
StreamMatcher
A matcher that matches events from Streams or StreamQueues.
StringDescription
The default implementation of Description. This should rarely need substitution, although conceivably it is a place where other languages could be supported.
Throws
Use the throwsA function instead.
TypeMatcher<T>
A Matcher subclass that supports validating the Type of the target object.
