Constructor Detail

### IsAnything

    public IsAnything()

### IsAnything

Method Detail

### matches

    public boolean matches(java.lang.Object o)

  Description copied from interface: `Matcher`
  Evaluates the matcher for argument item.

  This method matches against Object, instead of the generic type T. This is because the caller of the Matcher does not know at runtime what the type is (because of type erasure with Java generics). It is down to the implementations to check the correct type.

  Parameters:
    `o` - the object against which the matcher is evaluated.
  Returns:
    `true` if item matches, otherwise `false`.
  See Also:
    `BaseMatcher`

### describeTo

    public void describeTo(Description description)

  Description copied from interface: `SelfDescribing`
  Generates a description of the object. The description may be part of a a description of a larger object of which this is just a component, so it should be worded appropriately.

  Parameters:
    `description` - The description to be built or appended to.

### anything

    public static Matcher<java.lang.Object> anything()

  Creates a matcher that always matches, regardless of the examined object.

### anything

    public static Matcher<java.lang.Object> anything(java.lang.String description)

  Creates a matcher that always matches, regardless of the examined object, but describes itself with the specified `String`.

  Parameters:
    `description` - a meaningful `String` used when describing itself
