Oniguruma (鬼車) by K. Kosako is a BSD licensed regular expression library that supports a variety of character encodings. The Ruby programming language, since version 1.9, as well as PHP's multi-byte string module (since PHP5), use Oniguruma as their regular expression engine.[1] It is also used in products such as Tera Term, TextMate, Sublime Text and SubEthaEdit. Oniguruma is Japanese for "Devil's Chariot".

There is also a forked Oniguruma version called "Onigmo" (Onigruma-mod) which includes some features introduced in Perl 5.10+.[2]
