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.

Fastjson is a Java library that can be used to quickly convert Java Objects into their JSON representation or convert JSON strings to their equivalent Java object. Based on benchmarks it provides the best performance in both server side and Android client, and can work with arbitrary Java objects, even those pre-existing objects of which you do not have the source code. Fastjson provides a simple conversion method to turn Java objects to JSON and vice versa, with extensive support of Java Generics and arbitrarily complex objects.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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#.

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

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.

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.

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

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

Waxeye is a parser generator based on parsing expression grammars (PEGs). It supports C, Java, Javascript, Python, Ruby and Scheme.

Extension of the CUP parser generator for working with abstract syntax trees (ast). Implements support for class hierarchy generation and automatic tree building from CUP grammar specification files. Version 10k of CUP is used.

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

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.

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.

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