About Regex Syntax Cheatsheet
The Regex Syntax Cheatsheet is a reference page on MDN Web Docs for JavaScript regular expressions. It aggregates content from the articles in the RegExp guide into a single cheat sheet format. The page covers character classes and syntax used to match different kinds of characters in text.
You can use it to look up definitions and examples for patterns such as character ranges, negated classes, wildcards, digit and word escapes, whitespace escapes, and Unicode escapes. Each entry explains what the syntax matches and shows how it applies to sample strings. Headings link to the full guide articles for more information on a specific topic.
It suits web developers, students, and others who work with JavaScript RegExp patterns and need to check syntax while reading or writing code.
