Regex Visualizer

Tutorial

3

Export and Use

How It Works

The Regex Visualizer helps you understand and debug regular expressions. It parses the regex into an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) and generates a Non-deterministic Finite Automaton (NFA) for visualization. You can test patterns in real-time, view matches and capture groups, and export to multiple programming languages.

Use Cases

Form Validation - Validate emails, phones, IDs and more
Data Parsing - Extract specific format data from text
Search & Replace - Batch find and replace text
Learn Regex - Understand regex syntax through visualization
