GLR Parsing

GLR (Generalized LR) parsing is a method used by computers to analyze complex sentences or code, especially when the structure has multiple valid interpretations. Unlike traditional parsers that follow one straightforward path, GLR explores all possible ways of understanding a sentence simultaneously. This allows it to handle ambiguous or complicated grammar rules effectively. GLR extends traditional parsing techniques by managing multiple potential parses at once, making it powerful for processing natural language and programming languages with intricate or ambiguous syntax.
