A new, simple, high level, open programming language for Pattern Matching & Text Extraction. Easier than Regular Expressions

#Introduction

• ARORA is used to select, extract, match or test text based on patterns. It is an easier, more readable alternative to Regular Expressions.
• ARORA compiles to RegExes and is inter operable with them in a variety of environments.
• ARORA has a very verbose, almost english style of language constructs.
• ARORA works best when used in teams. It becomes really easy to understand each other's ARORA code rather than Regular Expression Code.
• What started as a hobby project to investigate Grammars and how Regular Expressions can be improved has turned out to be surprisingly useful.
• ARORA is still under heavy development and Language Features are subject to change.
• ARORA currently supports only JavaScript Regular expressions without Grouping & Capturing. We hope to support all languages and all use cases of pattern matching with active contributions from the community.
• An online compiler for ARORA is underway and will be released very soon.
