What problem does it solve?

This skill helps developers decide when to use Swift Regex versus NSRegularExpression, and explains how to bridge regex results to NSRange for TextKit-based editing, improving accuracy and performance decisions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Clear guidance on choosing between Swift Regex, RegexBuilder, and NSRegularExpression for text parsing in iOS apps.
  • Practical bridging strategies to map Range<String.Index> to NSRange for TextKit / NSAttributedString workflows.
  • Best-practice considerations for performance, deployment targets (iOS 16+ for Swift Regex), and interoperability with Foundation parsers.

Quick Start

Compare a sample Swift Regex and NSRegularExpression pattern for a text snippet and show how to bridge the match ranges to NSRange in a TextKit context.
