ANTLR is a parser generator that automates the construction of language recognizers. It is a program that writes other programs. From a formal language description, ANTLR generates a program that determines whether sentences conform to that language. By adding code snippets to the grammar, the recognizer becomes a translator. The code snippets compute output phrases based upon computations on input phrases. ANTLR is suitable for the simplest and the most complicated language recognition and translation problems. With each new release, ANTLR becomes more sophisticated and easier to use. ANTLR is extremely popular with 5,000 downloads a month and is included on all Linux and OS X distributions. Perhaps most importantly, ANTLR is much easier to understand and use than many other parser generators. It generates essentially what you would write by hand when building a recognizer and uses technology that mimics how your brain generates and recognizes language.
