/*! Provides a regex matcher that composes several other regex matchers automatically. This module is home to a meta [`Regex`], which provides a convenient high level API for executing regular expressions in linear time. # Comparison with the `regex` crate A meta `Regex` is the implementation used directly by the `regex` crate. Indeed, the `regex` crate API is essentially just a light wrapper over a meta `Regex`. This means that if you need the full flexibility offered by this API, then you should be able to switch to using this API directly without any changes in match semantics or syntax. However, there are some API level differences: * The `regex` crate API returns match objects that include references to the haystack itself, which in turn makes it easy to access the matching strings without having to slice the haystack yourself. In contrast, a meta `Regex` returns match objects that only have offsets in them. * At time of writing, a meta `Regex` doesn't have some of the convenience routines that the `regex` crate has, such as replacements. Note though that [`Captures::interpolate_string`](crate::util::captures::Captures::interpolate_string) will handle the replacement string interpolation for you. * A meta `Regex` supports the [`Input`](crate::Input) abstraction, which provides a way to configure a search in more ways than is supported by the `regex` crate. For example, [`Input::anchored`](crate::Input::anchored) can be used to run an anchored search, regardless of whether the pattern is itself anchored with a `^`. * A meta `Regex` supports multi-pattern searching everywhere. Indeed, every [`Match`](crate::Match) returned by the search APIs include a [`PatternID`](crate::PatternID) indicating which pattern matched. In the single pattern case, all matches correspond to [`PatternID::ZERO`](crate::PatternID::ZERO). In contrast, the `regex` crate has distinct `Regex` and a `RegexSet` APIs. The former only supports a single pattern, while the latter supports multiple patterns but cannot report the offsets of a match. * A meta `Regex` provides the explicit capability of bypassing its internal memory pool for automatically acquiring mutable scratch space required by its internal regex engines. Namely, a [`Cache`] can be explicitly provided to lower level routines such as [`Regex::search_with`]. */ pub use self::{ error::BuildError, regex::{ Builder, Cache, CapturesMatches, Config, FindMatches, Regex, Split, SplitN, }, }; mod error; #[cfg(any(feature = "dfa-build", feature = "hybrid"))] mod limited; mod literal; mod regex; mod reverse_inner; #[cfg(any(feature = "dfa-build", feature = "hybrid"))] mod stopat; mod strategy; mod wrappers;
