A Go library providing pre-built regular expressions for common patterns like dates, emails, and phone numbers.
CommonRegex is a Go library that provides a collection of pre-built regular expressions for extracting common patterns from text. It solves the problem of repeatedly writing and debugging regex patterns for everyday data like dates, emails, phone numbers, and URLs, offering a consistent and tested API.
Go developers who need to parse or validate text data, such as those working on data processing pipelines, web scrapers, form validators, or log analyzers.
Developers choose CommonRegex to save time and reduce errors by using battle-tested regex patterns instead of writing their own, ensuring reliability and consistency across projects.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Covers over 20 common data types including dates, emails, IPs, and financial information, as listed in the Features section, providing broad utility.
Offers functions like Date() and Time() that abstract regex complexity, making text parsing straightforward, as shown in the usage example.
Badges for testing, documentation, and code coverage indicate active maintenance and reliability, per the README shields.
The regex patterns are predefined and not easily modifiable, limiting adaptation to edge cases or custom formats not included.
Regex matching can be slow, and using a library may introduce overhead compared to optimized, hand-written parsers for specific tasks.
As a Go-specific library, it's unusable in polyglot environments, restricting its use in projects with multiple programming languages.
