Frequently asked questions

Why does it matter that a regex tester is local?

If your test string contains sensitive data — API keys, emails, passwords, health records — you don't want it sent to a third-party server. Local processing guarantees the data never leaves your machine, even temporarily.

Is the regex engine the same as in Node.js?

Both Node.js and modern browsers use V8, which implements the same ECMAScript RegExp specification. Patterns that work in the tester will work in Node.js and vice versa (assuming the same engine version and flags).

Does the permalink feature send data to a server?

No. The permalink encodes your pattern, flags, and test string (truncated to 500 chars) into the URL hash (#…). Hash fragments are never sent to the server — they exist only in the browser. Sharing the link with someone shares the URL, not any server-side session.
