  - EQUALITY
```
public static final MatchingType EQUALITY
```
    Verification by equality.
  - TYPE
```
public static final MatchingType TYPE

    Special version of regex for time check.
  - TIMESTAMP
```
public static final MatchingType TIMESTAMP
```
    Special version of regex for timestamp check.
  - REGEX
```
public static final MatchingType REGEX
```
    Verification if the value for the given path matches the provided regex.
  - COMMAND
```
public static final MatchingType COMMAND
```
    The user can provide custom command to execute.
  - NULL
```
public static final MatchingType NULL

- Method Detail
  - values
```
public static MatchingType[] values()
```
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
    for (MatchingType c : MatchingType.values()) System.out.println(c);
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static MatchingType valueOf(String name)
```
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
    
    Returns:
    
    the enum constant with the specified name
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    
    NullPointerException - if the argument is null
