ANTLR

Vendor
Author	Terence Parr Sam Harwell

ANTLR (ANother Tool for Language Recognition) is an Java based parser generator, comes with a Java backend (i.e. ANTLR generated parsers are written in/compile with Java), but additional backends are available for C Sharp, ECMAScript and Python versions two and three. Early versions of ANTLR also generated C++ code and apparently there is work ongoing to re-introduce the feature to the toolkit.

Main ANTLR author Terence Parr was also responsible for the Purdue Compiler Construction Tool Set (PCCTS).
