ANTLR

ANTLR (Another Tool for Language Recognition) is a software tool that helps developers create programs capable of understanding and processing structured text, such as programming languages or data formats. It works by defining the rules of a language (grammar) so the tool can automatically generate code that recognizes whether a piece of text follows those rules. This allows developers to build compilers, interpreters, or data parsers more efficiently, without manually coding all the details needed to analyze complex language patterns. Essentially, ANTLR automates the process of understanding and converting text into meaningful, programmable structures.
