An Objective-C library of categories and macros that simplify using NSRegularExpression in Objective-C and Swift on iOS and macOS. It condenses verbose Foundation regex code into concise one-line calls for matching, splitting, replacing, and extracting matches.

Use cases

• simplify regex matching in objective-c
• test if a string matches a pattern in ios
• extract matches from strings in swift
• split strings with regular expressions on macos
• replace text using regex in objective-c

When to choose

• you write Objective-C or Swift targeting iOS 4+ or macOS 10.7+ and want terse regex code
• you want a dependency-free library you can drop in as two files
• you find NSRegularExpression's API too verbose

When to avoid

• you work in a language other than Objective-C or Swift
• you need actively maintained regex tooling with recent updates
• you need advanced regex features beyond matching, splitting, and replacement
