This class is the abstract class encapsulating matching operations. The MatchingPlugIn class is the key class in the Geocoder. It formalizes the source text using GeocoderFormalizer, tries to match in some kinds of datasets and returns a MatchResult object. MatchingPlugIn can work independently or can be combined to work together with others to accomplish complicated matching requirements.

MatchingPlugin()

This is the constructor of this class.

N/A

Match(String)

This method matches the source text and returns a collection of GeocoderMatch. This method is the concrete wrapper for MatchCore. It firstly formalizes the input sourceText, gets the formalized results and matches them using MatchCore one by one, then returns all of the results within a collection.

• Type:Collection<GeocoderMatch>
• Description:A collection of GeocoderMatch.

• sourceText
  • Type:String
  • Description:The source text to match.

Open()

This method opens the MatchingPlugin for use. This method is the concrete wrapper for OpenCore.
