Improving Regular Expression Performance with Source Generators
Learn about optimizing regular expressions which allows for improved performance compared to compiling regular expressions.
When we pass a string
literal or string
constant to the constructor of Regex
, the class parses the string
and transforms it into an internal tree structure that represents the expression in an optimized way that can be executed efficiently by a regular expression interpreter.
Optimizing regular expression performance with compilation
We can also compile regular expressions by specifying a RegexOption
, as shown in the following code:
