PCRE2 is the name used for a revised API for the PCRE library, which is a set
of functions, written in C, that implement regular expression pattern matching
using the same syntax and semantics as Perl, with just a few differences. Some
features that appeared in Python and the original PCRE before they appeared in
Perl are also available using the Python syntax. There is also some support for
one or two .NET and Oniguruma syntax items, and there are options for
requesting some minor changes that give better ECMAScript (aka JavaScript)
compatibility.
using the same syntax and semantics as Perl, with just a few differences. After
nearly two decades, the limitations of the original API were making development
increasingly difficult. The new API is more extensible, and it was simplified
by abolishing the separate "study" optimizing function; in PCRE2, patterns are
automatically optimized where possible. Since forking from PCRE1, the code has
been extensively refactored and new features introduced.
