Open Source BSD Parser Generators

Parser for Rust source code is a major Rust crate for parsing Rust source code (token streams) into a syntax tree (AST) that procedural macros can inspect or transform. The primary target is macro authors: you can parse TokenStreams into syn::File, syn::Item, syn::Expr, syn::Type, etc. It offers rich data structures, fine-grained parsing, span tracking (for error reporting), traversal and mutation APIs (visit, fold, visit_mut), printing back to tokens, and strong feature-gating so you only compile what you need. The documentation emphasises that while the crate is geared for procedural macros (and custom derives), some of the APIs may be of more general use. Using syn you can effectively write code that analyzes or generates Rust code at compile time.

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

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.

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.

Python EBNF parser generator for use with mx.TextTools

This project has moved to https://github.com/jplevyak/dparser The master on github is the stable. Please pull that for the very latest code. DParser is a scannerless GLR parser generator based on the Tomita algorithm. It is self-hosted and very easy to use. Grammars are written in a natural style of EBNF and regular expressions and support both speculative and final actions.

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.

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.

C++ LALR parser generator

A universal parsing tool and source code generator for generative programming. It extracts useful information by parsing (BNF parser generator) and generates source code by several techniques, by interpreting a scripting language for flexibility.

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.

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

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.

More Than Parsing is a parser generator for context free grammars defined in a BNF-like format. It generates scanners, parsers, ASTs, etc. This sf project is no longer active, development will continue in a different place.

UML 2 Statemachine Code Generator is a developer framework for an easy implementation of statemachine based applications. Here, with this framework only one Domain-specific language (DSL) specification is necessary to create executable codes for Linux, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows. With this framework you save a lot of time and effort during implementation; also you have an always valid - based on a well-defined C++ standard - generated code with high quality.

UniCC (UNIversal Compiler-Compiler) compiles an augmented grammar definition into a program source code that parses the described grammar. Because UniCC is intended to be target-language independent, it can be configured via template definition files to emit parsers in almost any programming language. UniCC comes with out of the box support for the programming languages C, C++, Python (both 2.x and 3.x) and JavaScript. Parsers can also be generated into JSON and XML.

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

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.
