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...

argh is a tiny, pragmatic command-line argument parsing library that favors simple, readable code over elaborate configuration. It’s designed for the case where you just want to declare a few flags, accept some positional arguments, and print helpful usage text without wiring up a heavy framework. The API is intentionally compact so you can parse arguments inline near main() and map them straight into native types. It supports short and long options, boolean switches, and key–value flags while keeping error messages and help output understandable for end users. ...

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.

In a nutshell it takes as input the formal specification of any text protocol in ABNF and generates the parser in C language for that grammar using lex/yacc.
