All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods Default Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`boolean`	`columnNameMatches(java.lang.String columnName, java.lang.String javaName)`	Returns whether the column name fits the given Java identifier name.
`default boolean`	`columnNameStartsWith(java.lang.String columnName, java.lang.String prefix)`	Return whether the column name starts with the given prefix, according to the matching strategy of this `ColumnNameMatcher`.

- Method Detail
  - columnNameMatches
```
boolean columnNameMatches(java.lang.String columnName,
                          java.lang.String javaName)
```
    Returns whether the column name fits the given Java identifier name.
    
    Parameters:
    
    columnName - the SQL column name
    
    javaName - the Java property, field, or parameter name
    
    Returns:
    
    whether the given names are logically equivalent
  - columnNameStartsWith
```
default boolean columnNameStartsWith(java.lang.String columnName,
                                     java.lang.String prefix)
```
    Return whether the column name starts with the given prefix, according to the matching strategy of this ColumnNameMatcher. This method is used by reflective mappers to short-circuit nested mapping when no column names begin with the nested prefix. By default, this method returns columnName.startWith(prefix). Third party implementations should override this method to match prefixes by the same criteria as columnNameMatches(String, String).
    
    Parameters:
    
    columnName - the column name to test
    
    prefix - the prefix to test for
    
    Returns:
    
    whether the column name begins with the prefix.
