This tool allows you to test regular expressions patterns. The handler is quite simple.

B4X:
Public Sub Handle(req As ServletRequest, resp As ServletResponse)
   Dim jp As JSONParser
   Dim data() As Byte = Bit.InputStreamToBytes(req.InputStream)
   jp.Initialize(BytesToString(data, 0, data.Length, "UTF8"))
   Dim resJson As Map
   resJson.Initialize
   Try
     Dim json As Map = jp.NextObject
     Dim options As Int = 0
     If json.Get("case_sensitive") = False Then options = Regex.CASE_INSENSITIVE
     If json.Get("multiline") = True Then options = Bit.OR(options, Regex.MULTILINE)
     Dim m As Matcher = Regex.Matcher2(json.Get("pattern"), options, json.Get("text"))
     Dim res As StringBuilder
     res.Initialize
     Do While m.Find
       res.Append("Match (length=" & m.Match.Length & "): " & _
         EscapeXml(m.Match)).Append("<br/>")
       For g = 1 To m.GroupCount
         res.Append("Group #" & g & ": " & EscapeXml(m.Group(g))).Append("<br/>")
       Next
     Loop
     If res.Length = 0 Then res.Append("No matches were found.")
     resJson.Put("success", True)
     resJson.Put("log", res.ToString)
   Catch
     resJson.Put("success", False)
     resJson.Put("error", LastException.Message)
   End Try
   
   Dim jg As JSONGenerator
   jg.Initialize(resJson)
   resp.ContentType = "application/json"
   resp.Write(jg.ToString)
End Sub

The request is a JSON object. It holds the pattern, text and two options. The handler parses the given string with the pattern and returns the result as a JSON object.

The handler and static files are attached.
