Thank you all for this grate work, I'm a little bit worry about the performance of masking several attributes on long JSONs, I have seen similar projects that use regular expressions in the replace/mask process, so, I would like to know if maskdata is using regular expressions.

Hi @C3S4R5, Sorry for the late reply. No this library doesn't make use of regex expect to validate the input UUID(Only in case of UUID masking). Since regex can affect the performance of the applications, I haven't used it.
