Regular expression visualizer

What's this?
This tool shows you the deterministic and nondeterministic automata that some regular expression engines would use to parse your expression. Besides the educational use, it's nifty for debugging your expressions - just follow the little arrows and see where they go wrong.

Legend

• Single circles are normal states.
• Double circles are accepting states.
• Arrows are transitions between states, labels represent the legal input.
