jsgex

Not a replacement for REGEX, but an alternative that is far more readable and a bit more flexible

Check tests directory for examples of usage below API functions

createMatcher

when matcher is created it returns simple function to match within given text and starting at optionally given position

const matchResult = someMatcherCreatedWithOneOfCreateMatchFunc(text, position); //position is optional

that function returns an object, an example:

{ start: 18,
  result:
   { /*data provided as match result*/ },
  length: 1,
  matched: ')',
  chain: undefined,
  end: 19,
  endOfChains: 19,
  endOfText: 19,
  text: ')' 
}

TODO

prepare nice documentation, this is just quick lazy temporary one ;-)

consider some performance speedups using regex, function evaluation, JS build in methods
