About The ANTLR Parser Generator
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#, Python, or C++ actions. ANTLR is popular because it is easy to understand, powerful, flexible, generates human-readable output, and comes with complete source. ANTLR provides excellent support for tree construction, tree walking, and translation. There are currently over 5000 ANTLR source downloads a month.
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. Together with
his colleagues, Terence has made a number of fundamental contributions to parsing theory and language tool construction, leading to the resurgence of LL(k)-based recognition tools.
Here is a chronological history and credit
list for ANTLR/PCCTS. See ANTLR software license.
