Specifies type of match for the path: `"exact"`, `"prefix"`, or `"regex"`.

If set to `prefix`, Consul uses simple string matching to identify incoming request prefixes. For example, if the route is configured to match incoming requests to services prefixed with `/dev`, then the gateway would match requests to `/dev-` and `/deviate` and route to the upstream.

This deviates from the
[Kubernetes Gateway API specification](https://gateway-api.sigs.k8s.io/references/spec/#gateway.networking.k8s.io%2fv1beta1.PathMatchType), which matches on full path elements. In the previous example, _only_ requests to `/dev` or `/dev/` would match.
