ANTLR ANTLR

ANTLR - Definition and Overview

ANTLR is a parser generator that uses LL(k) parsing.

ANTLR stands for "ANother Tool for Language Recognition". Given that ANTLR is in competition with LR parser generators, the alternative reading "ANT(i)-LR" may not be accidental.

For an introction, see the ANTLR tutorial at the University of Birmingham (http://supportweb.cs.bham.ac.uk/documentation/tutorials/docsystem/build/tutorials/antlr/antlr.html). For background on the theory, see articles from the ANTLR pages, e.g. an ANTLR journal paper (http://www.antlr.org/article/1055550346383/antlr.pdf).
