## What it is
A curated set of regular expressions (PCRE and POSIX) for matching mainland China mobile phone numbers, including carrier-specific, MVNO, IoT, data-only, and satellite numbers. It is a reference collection of regex patterns rather than an executable library.

## Use cases
- validate chinese mobile phone numbers in a form
- match mainland china phone numbers with regex
- detect carrier from a china mobile number
- validate +86 phone number input
- match iot or data-only chinese phone numbers
- copy regex patterns for phone validation into any language

## When to choose
- you need lightweight regex patterns for Chinese phone numbers without adding a dependency
- you need carrier, MVNO, IoT, or data-only number distinctions
- you work in any language since regexes are language-agnostic

## When to avoid
- you need full phone parsing, formatting, or international coverage (use libphonenumber instead)
- you need reliable carrier detection after number portability (MNP makes it inaccurate)
- you need runtime updates as new number ranges are released

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: parser, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: regex, phone-number-validation, china, mobile-phone, carrier-detection, pcre, posix, automation
