Show HN: Xeger – A semantic regex builder in JavaScript

Pretty cool, nice work. I've done traditional regex for so long that reading the regex version of the url example was faster for me than reading the Xeger code. But, I know regex gives a lot of people trouble, and this provides a great alternative.

Even though I'm comfortable with regex, I actually like this method. Seems like it would be less prone to errors when creating a complex regex.

Instead of 1 line, you can write 17!

This tool is an anti-pattern. Just learn regex.
