The system in the article fails at quite simple sentences, such as:
"Rex Tillerson is the secretary of state."
It tags "Rex Tillerson" as ORG instead of PER. If you change "is" to "was" it tags it as PER.
I'm the creator. PCRE offers a neat feature to limit backtracking, Python does not. I still havent found a decent solution to this issue.
Javascript is run in your own browser so you'll only be screwing yourself there :p
If you don't agree with me, could you perhaps suggest an improvement?
- more flavor support,
- a regex debugger,
- code generator, with support for a lot of languages,
- a complete quick reference with examples,
- an extensive regex library,
- a regex quiz for "golfing" and learning purposes,
Perhaps, most importantly, it runs entirely client side and does not submit any information to the server unless you hit save (which returns a delete link to remove all data). You can even run the website and (most) of its features offline.
Regexr submits all input to the server for processing.
But, I'm biased, since I wrote regex101 :)
