JavaScript Regular Expression Parser & Visualizer.
Visualizer : http://jex.im/regulex/
###Features:
- Written in pure JavaScript. No backend needed.
- You can embed the graph in you own site through html iframe element.
- Detailed error message. In most cases it can point out the precise syntax error position.
- No support for octal escape. Yes it is a feature. ECMAScript strict mode doesn't support octal escape in string,but many browsers still support octal escape in regex. I make things easier. In regulex, DecimalEscape will always be treated as back reference. If the back reference is invalid, e.g.
/\1/
、/(\1)/
、/(a)\2/
,or DecimalEscape appears in charset(because in this case it can't be explained as back reference, e.g./(ab)[\1]/
). Regulex will always throw an error.
API:
var parse = require('regulex/parse');
var re = /var\s+([a-zA-Z_]\w*);/ ;
console.log(parse(re));
