Objective-C Categories for Regular Expressions
I am not a heavy user of regular expression but I have tried this new library by John Wright and I find it very handy.
It basically allows you to write 75% less code. Here is an example taken from the Readme page
While I suggest to know what happens under the hood before using these kind of “shortcut libraries”, I am totally in favor of them when it comes to save yourself some typing.
So here is my general recipe:
- get the basics right first
- experience the pain of some API (I am looking at you Auto Layout!)
- use (or even better build!) shortcut libraries/frameworks.
See you to the next library.
