    Melody is a language that compiles to regular expressions and aims to be more readable and maintainable

  • Opened a discussion about this

  • RegExr

    RegExr is a HTML/JS based tool for creating, testing, and learning about Regular Expressions.

  • There are tools like regexr.com that show you what each part of the regex does and where you can give sample texts to test it. But I have not known of tools so far that help in writing regex.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • xr

    Inverse of rx: convert Emacs string regexps to rx form (by mattiase)

  • There is also a package called xr, which converts a regexp string to rx. (xr xdg-line-regexp) returns:

  • verbose-regexp

    Verbose Regular Expressions

  • Sure, but in the context of a language that compiles to regex, verbose regexp is a pretty trivial transformation. Luckily, JS folk are pretty used to dealing with an anemic stdlib so using it as a library or a build step should feel right at home ;)

  • super-expressive

    🦜 Super Expressive is a zero-dependency JavaScript library for building regular expressions in (almost) natural language

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
