Go programs that depend on this package should import this package as follows to allow automatic downloading:
import "github.com/bobby-stripe/go-pcre"
This is a clone of gijsbers's go-pcre, but instead of using pcre via CGO, we compile pcre2 to WebAssembly and interpret it. I've tried to keep the API the same, except by necessity the JIT-related functions were removed. bobby-stripe/pcre2-wasm contains the build script to compile pcre2 into wasm bytecode using docker.
This is a clone of golang-pkg-pcre by Florian Weimer, which has been placed on Github by Glenn Brown, so it can be fetched automatically by Go's package installer.
Glenn Brown added FindIndex() and ReplaceAll()
to mimic functions in Go's default regexp package.
Mathieu Payeur Levallois added Matcher.ExtractString().
Malte Nuhn added GroupIndices() to retrieve positions of a matching group.
Chandra Sekar S added Index() and stopped invoking Match() twice in FindIndex().
Misakwa added support for pkg-config to locate libpcre.
Yann Ramin added ReplaceAllString() and changed Compile() return type to error.
Nikolay Sivko modified name2index() to return error instead of panic.
Harry Waye exposed raw pcre_exec.
Hazzadous added partial match support.
Pavel Gryaznov added support for JIT compilation.
