The Jakarta-ORO library contains packages for performing general text
processing in Java, with an aim to support, though not specifically
limited to, servlet development.
This package provides FilenameFilters that filter based on a regular
expression and other I/O-related classes that derive their
functionality from regular expressions.
This package used to be the TextTools library and provides general
text processing support, including a glob regular expression class,
pattern caching and line-by-line processing classes.
This package used to be the PerlTools library and adds Perl5
regular expression syntactic sugar built on top of the
org.apache.oro.text.regex Perl5 regular expression classes.
This package used to be the OROMatcher library and provides both
generic regular expression interfaces and Perl5 regular expression
compatible implementation classes.
This package includes general classes required by org.apache.oro.text and related packages, but that can also be applied to
more general uses.
The Jakarta-ORO library contains packages for performing general text
processing in Java, with an aim to support, though not specifically
limited to, servlet development. The core package is
org.apache.oro.text.regex, which defines abstract interfaces for
manipulating regular expressions, as well as a set of Perl5 comptabile
regular expression classes. Developers will mostly be interested only
in that package.
