Regular Expression in C++

GRETA:
The GRETA Regular Expression Template Archive

GRETA gives you all the power of Perl 5 regular expressions in your C++
applications. These easy-to-use classes let you perform regular
expression pattern matches on strings in C++.

Features include:

• Fast backtracking regular expression engine.
• Separately compiled patterns.
• Matches against C-style NULL-terminated strings, C++-sytle std::string’s, or iterator ranges.
• Template on iterator type and syntax module.
• Supports Unicode.
• Syntax is encapsulated in easily customized/replaced modules. (Perl and POSIX syntax modules included.)
• Match balanced, nested tags with a recursive pattern. Great for HTML/XML/SOAP processing.
• Many times faster than the .NET/ATL7 regex classes.
• Consistently outperforms than boost regex++ on short strings; performs competitively on long strongs (see this page for a detailed comparison).
