Open Source BSD Code Generators

CB2XML (CopyBook to XML) is a COBOL CopyBook to XML converter written in Java and based on the SableCC parser generator. This project includes utilities to convert an XML instance file into its COBOL copybook equivalent string buffer and vice versa. Source is now available in GitHub: https://github.com/bmTas/cb2xml

This project has moved to GitHub ! The version here at SourceForge will remain for historic purpose. Koopa is a parser generator, made for COBOL. It can handle source files in isolation (no preprocessing required) and doesn't mind the presence of CICS/SQL fragments. The grammar is easily extensible in a way which minimizes the impact on the overall code.

SableCC is a parser generator which generates object-oriented frameworks for building compilers, interpreters and other text parsers. SableCC keeps a clean separation between machine and user code which leads to a shorter development cycle.

A runtime parser generator library, generates parsers for context-free grammars. Parsing scripting languages and communication protocol messages are typical use cases. The library is written in straight C++ and requires STL. Clean, correct, efficient.

Complete LALR(1) parser generator and engine (like BISON or YACC) but it's all done in PHP, and the input grammar is easier and more maintainable. Write your actions in PHP. Generate PHP output code. Drive your parser with PHP. Wanna make a language?

Spirit is an object oriented recursive descent parser generator framework implemented using template meta-programming techniques.

A universal parsing tool and source code generator for generative programming. It extracts useful information by parsing (BNF parser generator) and generates source code by several techniques, by interpreting a scripting language for flexibility.

Ayauhteotl is a parser generator to parse XML files, using an XML-like syntax. The parser generator takes an XML file which describe the structure of the XML files to parse and which associates a semantic (for now in \\\\\\\"C\\\\\\\") t

BNF for Java is a BNF Compiler-Compiler, or Parser-Generator. It implements ISO Standard Backus-Naur Format, using Java. BNF allows you to create a syntax, or a complete language, to parse your data source. Your custom Java extensions generate output.

Blade Language Developer (or Project Blade for short) is a toolkit for creating domain specific or general programming languages. The toolkit offers a language for describing grammars, and templatable parser generator.

CppCC is an object-oriented scanner and LL(k) parser generator. It aims to replace LEX&YACC for those who write C++ applications that involve parsing.

Generate a parser at runtime from a collection of C++ objects. Concisely state a parser specification in ordinary C++ code. Learn from a parser generator with an object-oriented design.

Covra is a project to help design compilers. C3 is a tool specialized on the easy design and construction of ASTs, it is independent of the compiler compilers or parser generator that is used. It generates Java and C# code. Require JRE 1.6.0.

CSP Canonical LR(1) Parser Generator. Includes lexer and parser generator. Supports all OS. Produces code as standard ANSI C++ w/ minimal STL and usable in commercial or non-commercial purposes.

C++ LALR parser generator

Coco/S is a compiler generator that takes plain EBNF grammar files and features a SAX style call back API. It is written in Java and produces a Java Scanner (Lexer) and Parser for the language described by the input grammar. Coco/S is a branch of the 2010/11 release of Coco/R for Java. While Coco/R takes an attributed grammar file, Coco/S has a callback API. This has the advantage of a clean separation between grammar (EBNF) and Compiler/Interpreter.

RiDL is a set of tools to simplify building compilers using Nemerle. It includes a lexical analyzer generator and a parser generator.

The Embedded XML Parser Generator is creating some C source code that parses XML files (or streams) from a user specified document structure. Generated code can support advanced features (inter-dependencies, native data types etc...).

Hyacc is an efficient and practical Yacc/Bison-compatible full LR(1)/LALR(1)/LR(0) and partial LR(k) parser generator in ANSI C based on Knuth and Pager's LR(1) algorithms. Generated parser can be used in open-source or commercial software.

A Java command-line option parser generator, providing function similar to GNU Getopt, but much richer.

JS/CC is a parser generator for JavaScript/ECMAScript, which is entirely written in ECMAScript itself. It produces LALR(1) parsers with integrated lexical analyzers. JS/CC can run as a website or be invoked from a console, and runs on several platforms.

Parse software messages and transform them into actions. LazyBat has a command line utility which can transform input data, and also a parser generator for C/C++. LazyBat doesn't support recursive parsing, but rather focuses on common parsing jobs.

Lapg is the combined lexical analyzer and parser generator, which converts a description for a context-free LALR grammar into source file to parse the grammar. Generates code for Java, Javascript, C, C++ and C#.

Many Tools: PHP-based context-free grammar (CFG) parser generator, simple scanner generator, and nascent object relational mapping/query language in PHP. Talks to Postgres, MySQL for now. Needs PHP5. Comes with (relies on) many convenience functions.

Monkey is a scanner and a LR(1) parser generator for object oriented languages. The platform on wich it runs is Java.
