Awesome Regex curates the best regular expression tools, tutorials, libraries, and other resources. It covers all major regex flavors, and currently includes especially deep coverage of regular expressions in JavaScript.

Many regexes found online are low quality. It's risky to use regexes you don't fully understand in code, since they might have false positives/negatives, be vulnerable to performance problems with certain target strings, or assume a different regex flavor.
