The README section "XRegExp" states: [!TIP] XRegExp was indispensable for heavy regex users in its time, but many of its best features have been adopted into modern JavaScript. Check out Regex+, the lightweight spiritual successor to XRegExp that once again takes JavaScript regexes to the next level.

The README section "XRegExp" states: XRegExp provides augmented (and extensible) JavaScript regular expressions. You get modern syntax and flags beyond what browsers support natively. XRegExp is also a regex utility belt with tools to make your grepping and parsing easier, while freeing you from regex cross-browser inconsistencies and other annoyances.

The README section "XRegExp" states: XRegExp supports ES5+ browsers, and you can use it with Node.js or as a RequireJS module. Over the years, many of XRegExp's features have been adopted by new JavaScript standards (named capturing, Unicode properties/scripts/categories, flag s , sticky matching, etc.), so using XRegExp can be a way to extend these features into older browsers.
