Open Source BSD Parser Generators

MLton is a whole-program optimizing compiler for Standard ML. MLton generates small executables with excellent runtime performance, utilizing untagged and unboxed native integers, reals, and words, unboxed native arrays, fast arbitrary-precision arithmetic based on GnuMP, and multiple code generation and garbage collection strategies. In addition, MLton provides a feature rich Standard ML programming environment, with full support for SML97 as given in The Definition of Standard ML (Revised), a number of useful language extensions, a complete implementation of the Standard ML Basis Library, various useful libraries, a simple and fast C foreign function interface, the ML Basis system for programming with source libraries, and tools such as a lexer generator, a parser generator, and a profiler.

CB2XML (CopyBook to XML) is a COBOL CopyBook to XML converter written in Java and based on the SableCC parser generator. This project includes utilities to convert an XML instance file into its COBOL copybook equivalent string buffer and vice versa. Source is now available in GitHub: https://github.com/bmTas/cb2xml

SableCC is a parser generator which generates object-oriented frameworks for building compilers, interpreters and other text parsers. SableCC keeps a clean separation between machine and user code which leads to a shorter development cycle.

Genparse is a command line parser generator. Based on a simple description of the command line options you want in your program, genparse creates the necessary C, C++ or Java code for their processing.

This project has moved to GitHub ! The version here at SourceForge will remain for historic purpose. Koopa is a parser generator, made for COBOL. It can handle source files in isolation (no preprocessing required) and doesn't mind the presence of CICS/SQL fragments. The grammar is easily extensible in a way which minimizes the impact on the overall code.

Soul is a recursive descent parser generator tool for Windows and Linux that comes with a parsing library.

A runtime parser generator library, generates parsers for context-free grammars. Parsing scripting languages and communication protocol messages are typical use cases. The library is written in straight C++ and requires STL. Clean, correct, efficient.

Hyacc is an efficient and practical Yacc/Bison-compatible full LR(1)/LALR(1)/LR(0) and partial LR(k) parser generator in ANSI C based on Knuth and Pager's LR(1) algorithms. Generated parser can be used in open-source or commercial software.

BNF for Java is a BNF Compiler-Compiler, or Parser-Generator. It implements ISO Standard Backus-Naur Format, using Java. BNF allows you to create a syntax, or a complete language, to parse your data source. Your custom Java extensions generate output.

Lapg is the combined lexical analyzer and parser generator, which converts a description for a context-free LALR grammar into source file to parse the grammar. Generates code for Java, Javascript, C, C++ and C#.

Developer tools for EXPRESS (ISO 10303-11), an information modeling language. The core of this project is a Java Express parser using the ANTLR parser generator. This project was initiated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology.

Spirit is an object oriented recursive descent parser generator framework implemented using template meta-programming techniques.

JS/CC is a parser generator for JavaScript/ECMAScript, which is entirely written in ECMAScript itself. It produces LALR(1) parsers with integrated lexical analyzers. JS/CC can run as a website or be invoked from a console, and runs on several platforms.

Turn.Message is .NET parser / generator of the TURN (Traversal Using Relay NAT) messages written in C#. Compatible with [MS-TURN] extension and clients based on Microsoft UCCAPI SDK.

Native C++ implementation of a JSON library. Contains a Parser, a Generator and and easy-to-use Navigator in one single class. To build you will need at least a C++11 capable compiler such as MSVC 10 (express edition). There is no other 3rd party library required to compile or run it.

Ayauhteotl is a parser generator to parse XML files, using an XML-like syntax. The parser generator takes an XML file which describe the structure of the XML files to parse and which associates a semantic (for now in \\\\\\\"C\\\\\\\") t

A simple way to create a syntax highlighting editor for a custom language/grammar and/or create custom grammar parsers. This is a .NET project written in C#. See details here: http://acct001.com/wordpress/?p=190

Berkeley Yacc is an LALR(1) parser generator. Berkeley Yacc has been made as compatible as possible with AT&T Yacc. Berkeley Yacc has been extended to generate Python, Perl and Java code.

Blade Language Developer (or Project Blade for short) is a toolkit for creating domain specific or general programming languages. The toolkit offers a language for describing grammars, and templatable parser generator.

CppCC is an object-oriented scanner and LL(k) parser generator. It aims to replace LEX&YACC for those who write C++ applications that involve parsing.

Generate a parser at runtime from a collection of C++ objects. Concisely state a parser specification in ordinary C++ code. Learn from a parser generator with an object-oriented design.

Covra is a project to help design compilers. C3 is a tool specialized on the easy design and construction of ASTs, it is independent of the compiler compilers or parser generator that is used. It generates Java and C# code. Require JRE 1.6.0.

CSP Canonical LR(1) Parser Generator. Includes lexer and parser generator. Supports all OS. Produces code as standard ANSI C++ w/ minimal STL and usable in commercial or non-commercial purposes.

C++ LALR parser generator

Chaperon is a LALR(1) parser, which parse structured text documents and generate XML documents as output. It includes a parser generator like yacc and a regex scaner like lex. As input use Chaperon a grammar written in XML.
