ANTLR is a parser generator that uses LL(k) parsing. ANTLR's predecessor is a parser generator known as PCCTS.

ANTLR stands for "ANother Tool for Language Recognition". Given that ANTLR is in competition with LR parser generators, the alternative reading "ANT(i)-LR" may not be accidental. ANTLR rules are expressed in a format deliberately similar to EBNF instead of the regular expression syntax employed by other parser generators.

At the moment, ANTLR supports generating code in the following languages: C++, Java, Python, C#.

For an introduction, see [the ANTLR tutorial at the University of Birmingham]. For background on the theory, see articles from the ANTLR pages, e.g. [an ANTLR journal paper].

An IDE called ANTLR Studio that plugs into the Eclipse development environment is also available.
