Regular expression tools for Java developers.

## RegexBuilder

`RegexBuilder` is a class for building regular expressions in a more human-readable way using a fluent API. It offers a number of benefits over using raw regex syntax in strings:

 - No knowledge of regular expression syntax is required: just use simple, intuitively-named classes and methods.

 - Code is easier to read, understand and maintain.

 - Code is safer and far less prone to regular expression syntax errors and programmer errors.

Here's an example:

```java

Pattern regex = new RegexBuilder()

    .text("Hello")

    .whitespace(RegexQuantifier.oneOrMore())

    .text("world!")

    .buildRegex();

```

But that's just a taste of what `RegexBuilder` does: for full API documentation, head over to the [project wiki](https://github.com/markwhitaker/RegexToolbox.Java/wiki).

## Breaking change in 2.0: Logging removed

The logging API added in version 1.3 wasn't adding as much value as intended and incurred an additional maintenance overhead. It is removed in version 2.0.

## Usage (Gradle)

RegexToolbox.Java is [hosted on JitPack](https://jitpack.io/#markwhitaker/RegexToolbox.Java).

Replace `x.y.z` with the latest version (shown in the JitPack badge at the top of this page).

```

repositories {

    ...

    maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }

}

implementation 'com.github.markwhitaker:RegexToolbox.Java:x.y.z'

```
