+# rhemyn
+a basic experimental wip regex engine/aot wasm compiler in js. regex engine for porffor. uses own regex parser, no dependencies (excluding porffor internals). <br>
+age: ~1 day
+
+made for use with porffor but could possibly be adapted, implementation/library notes:
+- exposes functions for each regex "operation" (eg test, match)
+- given a regex pattern string (eg `a+`), it returns a "function" object
+- wasm function returned expects an i32 pointer to a utf-16 string (can add utf-8 option later if someone else actually wants to use this)
+
+## syntax
+🟢 supported 🟡 partial 🟠 parsed only 🔴 unsupported
+
+- 🟢 literal characters (eg `a`)
+- 🟢 escaping (eg `\.\n\cJ\x0a\u000a`)
+  - 🟢 character itself (eg `\.`)
+  - 🟢 escape sequences (eg `\n`)
+  - 🟢 control character (eg `\cJ`)
+  - 🟢 unicode code points (eg `\x00`, `\u0000`)
+- 🟢 sets (eg `[ab]`)
+  - 🟢 ranges (eg `[a-z]`)
+  - 🟢 negated sets (eg `[^ab]`)
+- 🟢 metacharacters
+  - 🟢 dot (eg `a.b`)
+  - 🟢 digit, not digit (eg `\d\D`)
+  - 🟢 word, not word (eg `\w\W`)
+  - 🟢 whitespace, not whitespace (eg `\s\S`)
+- 🟠 quantifiers
+  - 🟠 star (eg `a*`)
+  - 🟠 plus (eg `a+`)
+  - 🟠 optional (eg `a?`)
+  - 🟠 lazy modifier (eg `a*?`)
+  - 🔴 n repetitions (eg `a{4}`)
+  - 🔴 n-m repetitions (eg `a{2,4}`)
+- 🔴 assertions
+  - 🔴 beginning (eg `^a`)
+  - 🔴 end (eg `a$`)
+  - 🔴 word boundary assertion (eg `\b\B`)
