XSD §F regex parser — XSD-flavour source → Expr AST.
Implements the BNF from XSD Part 2 §F: regExp is a branch
list joined by |; each branch is a sequence of pieces; each
piece is an atom with an optional quantifier. Atoms are
single characters, escapes, character classes, or
parenthesised regexps.
Pre-translation rejects constructs XSD §F forbids: back-references, lookaround, inline modifiers, anchor escapes. These errors fire at schema compile time so users get a single clear diagnostic up front instead of a confusing deferred-compile failure at first match.
Enums§
- Anchor
Kind - Position-anchor variety used by
Expr::Anchor. - Dialect
- Source-level dialect. XSD §F.1 forbids
^and$(patterns are implicitly whole-input anchored); XPath 2.0 §7.6 keeps the XSD grammar but adds them back as explicit anchors usable anywhere in the pattern. - Expr
- Parsed XSD regex. Classes are flattened to [
ClassSet] at parse time so the NFA builder doesn’t need to know about\p{...},\d, class subtraction, etc.
Functions§
- parse
- Parse XSD §F source into an
Expr. - parse_
with - Parse with a specific source dialect. See
Dialect.
