Open Source Java Parser Generators

ANTLR (ANother Tool for Language Recognition) is a powerful parser generator for reading, processing, executing, or translating structured text or binary files. It's widely used to build languages, tools, and frameworks. From a grammar, ANTLR generates a parser that can build and walk parse trees. It’s widely used in academia and industry to build all sorts of languages, tools, and frameworks. Twitter search uses ANTLR for query parsing, with over 2 billion queries a day. The languages for Hive and Pig, the data warehouse and analysis systems for Hadoop, both use ANTLR. Lex Machina uses ANTLR for information extraction from legal texts. Oracle uses ANTLR within SQL Developer IDE and their migration tools. NetBeans IDE parses C++ with ANTLR. The HQL language in the Hibernate object-relational mapping framework is built with ANTLR.

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.

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.

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.

Marid is a cross-platform data acquisition and visualization software intended to build complex and hierarchical data acquisition systems. The base concepts of its architecture include: * Graphical deploy configuration builders * Powerful Groovy scripting language * Embedded database ( H2 , HSQLDB) to store data * Cross-platform design (write once, run anywhere) * Embedded GUI-configurable binary/ascii device protocol parser/generator * Deploy manager to deploy firmwares to remote controllers/servers via secure channel * Embedded web-sever * Dynamically linked plugins available from Nexus Repository * Remote monitoring tools * Modular Marid IDE to manage them all

ParGeL is an LALR(k) parser generator, which allows creation of inheritable parsers in runtime and compile time environments. ParGeL is written 100% in Java.

Tools to simplify parsing and processing XML using the ANTLR parser generator.

A parser generator for PEG grammars, built using Java, currently producing code for Java.

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.

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.

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.

Coco/S is a compiler generator that takes plain EBNF grammar files and features a SAX style call back API. It is written in Java and produces a Java Scanner (Lexer) and Parser for the language described by the input grammar. Coco/S is a branch of the 2010/11 release of Coco/R for Java. While Coco/R takes an attributed grammar file, Coco/S has a callback API. This has the advantage of a clean separation between grammar (EBNF) and Compiler/Interpreter.

Wrap Barrage Support/Sport Barrage Support. Supports custom fonts. Supports multiple barrage parameter settings. Supports multiple methods of barrage shielding. Download the latest version or grab via Maven or Gradle.

A Java command-line option parser generator, providing function similar to GNU Getopt, but much richer.

Open source mini Python compiler written in Java using Sablecc as parser generator.

Top-down parser that can parse parentheses and braces and quotes but let's the rest to you. See documentation in Files/doc.

JPlex is an unconventional lexical analyzer generator for Java. JPlex lexers are NIO-based, DFA-powered, push-driven, and fully decoupled and reusable. Their state machines are precompiled and serialized, so run time initialization is fast no matter how large the rule set. JPlex is not a parser generator; it only generates an interface for its parsers, and it does not build a parse tree. When the lexer identifies a token that has a named event associated with it, it passes the token to the parser method associated with that event. A lexer can dispatch token events to any number of parsers. JPlex is steadily being improved, and the Subversion repo will almost always be newer and better than the binary download.

It is basically an education Java compiler we are developing - just to gain an insight into the workings of a compiler. It is NOT meant for commercial use!! Its written in Java and uses ANTLR parser generator and the Byte Code Engineering Library extensiv

This project aims to provide a Java-Bytecode compiler for the fairly new programming language WRL and others like PHP4 and Postfix, based on the research on the SableCC parser generator and common W3C.ORG standards.

A full flavored Eclipse editor for Jikespg and LALR Parser Generator (LPG) grammar files.

lightJacc is a small but strong grammar parser generator. It adopts a parsing strategy of its own: dynamic concurrent parsing -- which made it much stronger than LR or LL family CCs (YACC, ANTLR, etc), but still keep good performance.

The LALR parser generator (LPG) is a tool for developing scanners and parsers written in Java, C++ or C. Input is specified by BNF rules. LPG supports backtracking (to resolve ambiguity), automatic AST generation and grammar inheritance.

A parser generator derived from ANTLR with JavaCC like (but not the same) syntax and some new features. It also comes with sample grammars for CSharp, Java, GnuC, Html, XHtml, Xml, ECMA262... etc.
