It's not a very well-kept secret, regular expressions, also called "RegExp" (or "Regex") are the bane of many developers.

We actually dedicated an article to improving your skills in writing and understanding regular expressions on the blog.

But today, I'm presenting a tool that might just change your life, or at least your relationship with RegExp... This site is autoregex.xyz!

AutoRegex lets you automatically generate (thanks to artificial intelligence) a regular expression from a constraint written in natural language (in English).

Example: "Match valid IPv4 addresses" gives the expression: "(d{1,3}.){3}d{1,3}"

The free plan offers 10 regular expression generations, but the paid plan ($3.49/month) offers, in addition to unlimited generations, the ability to translate a RegEx into natural language (English).

Incredible, isn't it?

Of course, we still always recommend only using code you fully understand in your projects... But if you want to try this generator, you'll find it at the following address: https://www.autoregex.xyz/home
