R Interface to Google RE2 (C++) Regular Expression Library

v0.1.4 · Jan 19, 2025 · MIT + file LICENSE

Description

Pattern matching, extraction, replacement and other string processing operations using Google's RE2 <https://github.com/google/re2> regular-expression engine. Consistent interface (similar to 'stringr'). RE2 uses finite-automata based techniques, and offers a fast and safe alternative to backtracking regular-expression engines like those used in 'stringr', 'stringi' and other PCRE implementations.
