ReadableRegex

General expressions, regular expressions constitute a powerful tool for text extraction, find and replace operations as well as input validation. ReadableRegex, also know as Readable Regular Expressions is designed as a Java library helps developers write more readable and robust regular expressions.

The component can come in handy for any developer that is trying to edit regular expressions, particularly with the notations and syntax. Because it can leverage the pre-written patterns that are frequently used in projects, it should be able to help out with achieving common tasks that require them smoother.

It is worth mentioning that the component set has a fluent API and consequentially, you can build up the text of a regular expression using code that can be read in English. Considering that the text can be read, you do not have to worry too much about missing syntax, such as bracket matching or potential special characters that have been auto-corrected, for instance.

The regular expressions that can be achieved with this library are build using the notorious java method calls, instead of the regular dense string of text. The direct advantage of the method drives from the fact that you can improve commenting, indentation and the overall code readability.
