Terence Parr What is ANTLR?
ANTLR, ANother Tool for Language Recognition, (formerly PCCTS) is a language tool that provides a framework for constructing recognizers, compilers, and translators from grammatical descriptions containing Java, C#, C++, or Python actions. ANTLR provides excellent support for tree construction, tree walking, and translation. There are currently about 5,000 ANTLR source downloads a month.

If you like ANTLR, check out Terence's StringTemplate template engine.

Terence Parr is the maniac behind ANTLR and has been working on ANTLR since 1989. He is a professor of computer science at the University of San Francisco. Come study language design and implementation with Terence at USF! We have research fellowships worth up to US$15,000 for the best applicants.
