Crafting regexes to avoid stack overflows
Due to the way regular expression matching is implemented in Java (and many other languages/libraries), matching a pattern may - depending on the regex - require stack space proportional to the length of the input. This means large inputs could cause the program to crash with a `StackOverflowException` when you ... Read More

Setting the right (regex) boundaries is important
Regular expressions pack a lot of power into terse little packages and unfortunately that introduces a lot of room for error. This post talks about regex boundaries, another feature that can lead to bugs when used incorrectly, and a rule of ours that can help you avoid such issues. it ... Read More
