 ** associationType **   <a name="codeartifact-Type-AssociatedPackage-associationType"></a>
Describes the strength of the association between the package and package group. A strong match can be thought of as an exact match, and a weak match can be thought of as a variation match, for example, the package name matches a variation of the package group pattern. For more information about package group pattern matching, including strong and weak matches, see [Package group definition syntax and matching behavior](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codeartifact/latest/ug/package-group-definition-syntax-matching-behavior.html) in the *CodeArtifact User Guide*.
