+# xurls
+
+[![GoDoc](https://godoc.org/mvdan.cc/xurls?status.svg)](https://godoc.org/mvdan.cc/xurls)
+
+Extract urls from text using regular expressions. Requires Go 1.13 or later.
+
+```go
+import "mvdan.cc/xurls/v2"
+
+func main() {
+ rxRelaxed := xurls.Relaxed()
+ rxRelaxed.FindString("Do gophers live in golang.org?") // "golang.org"
+ rxRelaxed.FindString("This string does not have a URL") // ""
+
+ rxStrict := xurls.Strict()
+ rxStrict.FindAllString("must have scheme: http://foo.com/.", -1) // []string{"http://foo.com/"}
+ rxStrict.FindAllString("no scheme, no match: foo.com", -1) // []string{}
+}
+```
+
+Since API is centered around [regexp.Regexp](https://golang.org/pkg/regexp/#Regexp),
+many other methods are available, such as finding the [byte indexes](https://golang.org/pkg/regexp/#Regexp.FindAllIndex)
+for all matches.
+
+Note that calling the exposed functions means compiling a regular expression, so
+repeated calls should be avoided.
