Regex for any js string for representing an object or array containing any number of array or object?
If you're trying to determine if a string is valid Javascript then your best bet is to use a JS parser like Acorn. Trying to DIY parsing with just regex is a good way to end up incredibly frustrated.

[AskJS] What is your preferred tooling when working with JS ASTs?
A simple starting point is Acorn with estree-walker. Not sure if you'll need more advanced functionality but that pair has worked well for my usage. It's also the combo that Svelte uses internally.

There's a few different ways to do this (such as this guide), but the easiest way I've found is the following command, which also adds PostCSS and AutoPrefixer:
