No README at https://www.npmjs.com/package/pcre

and here 3 years without commits... There are another better or faster way to use PCRE with NodeJS??

I attempted starting a new node-pcre, with NAN and all but I'm not sure how @mscdex configured the build to be arch-independent. Perhaps my C++ build knowledge is primitive but if anyone knows how I'm open to maintaining a fork.

Hi @vihanb , thanks the reply, and for your willingness to renew the project. I think that reuse of any other PCRE driver (as PHP, Python, Java, etc.) will be possible with "primitve knowledge of C++" and some stackoverflow helping us :-)

Perhaps the first step, to get collaborators and avoid lost or diffusion of effort with other NPMJS projects, is to do a survey or list all good possiblities here.

  1. There are another good (you tested? there are benchmarks?) PCRE driver/extension for NodeJS?

  2. The better today (2017) is to use PCRE or PCRE2?

  3. How many relevant JS projects are using mscdex/node-pcre? Node-pcre was working fine there?
