The present application discloses methods, systems, and computer program products for automatically generating source code implementing a regular expression. A regular expression that is defined within source code of an application project is identified. The source code uses a higher-level programming language. Based on identifying the regular expression, a source code implementation of the regular expression is automatically generated using the higher-level programming language, and the source code implementation of the regular expression is integrated into the application project. After integrating the source code implementation of the regular expression into the application project, the source code implementation of the regular expression is compiled into lower-level code and the lower-level code is emitted into an application executable when building the application project, or the source code implementation of the regular expression is interpreted when executing the application project.
