Oniguruma
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oniguruma (鬼車) is a free and open-source regular expression library that supports a variety of character encodings, written by K. Kosako. The Ruby programming language, in version 1.9, as well as PHP's multi-byte string module (since PHP5), use Oniguruma as their regular expression engine.[2] It is also used in products such as Atom,[3] EDK2 UEFI,[4] GyazMail, Take Command Console, Tera Term, TextMate, SubEthaEdit and jq.

As of April 26, 2025, development of Oniguruma was stopped and the project was archived.[5]
There used to be also a fork of Oniguruma called "Onigmo" (Oniguruma-mod) which includes some features introduced in Perl 5.10+.[6] Ruby switched to it in version 2.0[7] and features have been backported from Ruby to Onigmo. Take Command Console from version 20 to version 32 used to Onigmo.[8] Take Command switched back to Oniguruma in version 33 as Onigmo is no longer being updated.[9]
