What testing tools does CodeTidy provide?

CodeTidy offers a regex tester for building and debugging regular expressions with real-time matching, and a regex explainer that translates complex patterns into plain English descriptions. Both tools help developers work with regular expressions more effectively.

How does the regex tester differ from the regex explainer?

The regex tester lets you write a pattern and test it against sample text with real-time match highlighting. The regex explainer takes any regex pattern and breaks it down into a human-readable explanation of what each part does, making it easier to understand complex patterns.

Do these tools support all regex flavors?

The tools use JavaScript regular expressions, which support the most common regex features including character classes, quantifiers, groups, lookaheads, and lookbehinds. JavaScript regex covers the vast majority of patterns developers need.
