@Amar N ,

• It's simple, "=" operator is used for comparing string to string. like 'api' = 'api'

Below condition will match only if pathsuffix is "/cat" ,

<Condition>(proxy.pathsuffix = "/cat")</Condition>

• JavaRegex is used for pattern matching like,

<Condition>(proxy.pathsuffix JavaRegex "/ca?t")</Condition>
