Frequently Asked Questions
What code languages are supported for code snippet generation?
Every pattern provides ready-to-paste snippets for JavaScript (ES6), TypeScript, Python (`re.compile`), and Go (`regexp.MustCompile`).
Can I test these patterns with custom input?
Yes. Use our companion tool, Regular Expression Tester (`/regex-tester`), to test and debug live matches interactively.
Is my data uploaded when I use the Regular Expression Generator?
No. All processing runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server unless you explicitly create a share link.
Does this tool work offline?
Yes. After the first visit, the PWA service worker can serve the page and run the formatter without a network connection.
What is the maximum input size?
Most tools accept up to about 5MB in the editor. Very large inputs are processed preferentially in a Web Worker and may download instead of filling the output pane.
