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.

iText is an open-source PDF library available for Java and .NET (C#). iText allows you to effortlessly generate and manipulate standards-compliant PDF documents with a powerful and feature-rich SDK. With iText, you can create archivable and accessible PDFs, split and merge documents, fill and flatten forms, digitally sign documents, and more. iText add-ons enable additional functionality, such as PDF creation from HTML templates, secure redaction, OCR, and much more. The latest versions of iText build on the success of previous versions and feature an improved document engine, high and low-level programming capabilities, and a more efficient modular structure. iText represents the next level for developers looking to leverage PDF in document workflows. The main project page for iText is now on GitHub, and all the latest releases, code samples, open source add-ons and tools, etc. can be found at https://github.com/itext/.

FAR comes with support for regular expressions (regex) over multiple lines, automatic backup and various character encodings. Run grep like extractions to condense or rearrange sources, or perform bulk file renaming.

CoreNLP is your one stop shop for natural language processing in Java! CoreNLP enables users to derive linguistic annotations for text, including token and sentence boundaries, parts of speech, named entities, numeric and time values, dependency and constituency parses, coreference, sentiment, quote attributions, and relations. CoreNLP currently supports 6 languages, Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German, and Spanish. The centerpiece of CoreNLP is the pipeline. Pipelines take in raw text, run a series of NLP annotators on the text, and produce a final set of annotations. Pipelines produce CoreDocuments, data objects that contain all of the annotation information, accessible with a simple API, and serializable to a Google Protocol Buffer. CoreNLP generates a variety of linguistic annotations, including parts of speech, named entities, dependency parses, and coreference.
