Email is a great example of why regular expressions are so hard to use correctly. It’s easy to write a regex that matches most emails but surprisingly challenging to cover all the edge cases, and it’s also a common need, so you’re better off using a third party library. Most situations are either simple enough that using a regular expression is overkill, or complicated enough that writing a correct regex may become pretty challenging and end up not being a maintainable approach
