You might think of regular expressions as the holy grail of text processing, but are you sure you aren’t just shoehorning them in where standard built-in solutions already exist and would work better? jаvascript itself provides programmers with excellent methods for text manipulation, and knowing how and when to use them will help you write more efficient and performant code. From extracting data from APIs to calculating word counts and everything in between, discover how to pick the right tool for the job and make the absolute most of it every single time.
Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced programmer, this up-to-date guide will save you a ton of time when dealing with text. With Text Processing with jаvascript, you’ll find a collection of tiny programs, each demonstrating a string manipulation approach in jаvascript. You’ll also focus squarely on the practical aspects of text processing with jаvascript – that is, what each technique is designed to accomplish and how to use it in your program.
