# RSpec Expectations rspec-expectations adds `should` and `should_not` to every object and includes RSpec::Matchers, a library of standard matchers. ## Matchers Matchers are objects used to compose expectations: result.should eq("this value") In that example, `eq("this value")` returns a `Matcher` object that compares the actual `result` to the expected `"this value"`. ## Contribute See [http://github.com/rspec/rspec-dev](http://github.com/rspec/rspec-dev) ## Also see * [http://github.com/rspec/rspec](http://github.com/rspec/rspec) * [http://github.com/rspec/rspec-core](http://github.com/rspec/rspec-core) * [http://github.com/rspec/rspec-mocks](http://github.com/rspec/rspec-mocks)
