Open Source BSD Code Generators

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.

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.

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.

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.

Many Tools: PHP-based context-free grammar (CFG) parser generator, simple scanner generator, and nascent object relational mapping/query language in PHP. Talks to Postgres, MySQL for now. Needs PHP5. Comes with (relies on) many convenience functions.

Styx is a scanner and parser generator designed to address some shortcomings of the traditional lex/yacc combination. It has unique features like automatic derivation of depth grammar, production of the derivation tree including it's C interface which provides access to the abstract syntax tree, preservation of full source information and pretty printing to facilitate source-source translation, persistence to aid rapid interpreter writing. For application in contemporary computing environments, it supports unicode, reentrancy and offers thread-safeness.

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.

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

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.

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.

CSP Canonical LR(1) Parser Generator. Includes lexer and parser generator. Supports all OS. Produces code as standard ANSI C++ w/ minimal STL and usable in commercial or non-commercial purposes.

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.

RiDL is a set of tools to simplify building compilers using Nemerle. It includes a lexical analyzer generator and a parser generator.

The Embedded XML Parser Generator is creating some C source code that parses XML files (or streams) from a user specified document structure. Generated code can support advanced features (inter-dependencies, native data types etc...).

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.

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.

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#.

Monkey is a scanner and a LR(1) parser generator for object oriented languages. The platform on wich it runs is Java.

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.

ParGeL is an LALR(k) parser generator, which allows creation of inheritable parsers in runtime and compile time environments. ParGeL is written 100% in Java.

Scannerless recursive descent C++ parser generator

Spirit is an object oriented recursive descent parser generator framework implemented using template meta-programming techniques.

Wisent is an LALR(1) parser generator with pluggable front- and backends. It generates object-oriented code with clean namespace separation. A yacc-like frontend is currently accompanied by a C++ and a Java backend. The tool itself is implemented in C++.

XMLpg - XML parser generator. Generates an XML parser in C++ from a DTD. The generated code will provide validation as well as conversion of the input XML.

This project is a parser generator, like the lex and yacc, but is based on the JavaCC grammar. It was writing in c++, run on linux and dos, and don't use another library. The grammar parser is specified through a simple file, and the parser generated
