Summary

Java Compiler Compiler (JavaCC) is the most popular parser generator for use

with Java applications. A parser generator is a tool that reads a grammar

specification and converts it to a Java program that can recognize matches to

the grammar. In addition to the parser generator itself, JavaCC provides other

standard capabilities related to parser generation such as tree building (via

a tool called JJTree included with JavaCC), actions, debugging, etc.
