Reviews

""Parr's clear writing and lighthearted style make it a pleasure to learn the practical details of building language processors." "

Dan Bornstein - Designer of the Dalvik VM for Android""ANTLR is an exceptionally powerful and flexible tool for parsing formal languages. At Twitter, we use it exclusively for query parsing in our search engine. Our grammars are clean and concise and the generated code is efficient and stable. This book is our go-to reference for ANTLR v4--engaging writing, clear descriptions and practical examples all in one place." "
