Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reviewing the editor's current highlighting behavior and the regex tester and JSON diff use cases described in the issue. Done should mean that matching portions, or individual lines, can be highlighted for both stated use cases.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I am trying to add regex tester to https://ray.run/tools similar to https://regex101.com/.

The main requirement is that I want to highlight matching parts of the code.

The other use case for this would be to develop a text diff similar to https://ray.run/tools/json-diff-analyzer
