PEG.js - Parser Generator for Javascript

This is the tool used in the advanced part of lesson 3. PEG.js is a simple parser generator for JavaScript that produces fast parsers with excellent error reporting. You can use it to process complex data or computer languages and build transformers, interpreters, compilers and other tools easily.



Another Javascript-based parser generator. This one takes its name from Bison, a famous parser generator from the 90's distributed by the GNU project.



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. The parser can run in Java, C#, Python, or Javascript.
