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. </p> <p> We've had hundreds of thousands of downloads and estimate serious users in the many thousands (and maybe even tens of thousands). Our newsgroup <strong>comp.compilers.tools.javacc</strong> and our <a href="http://javacc.dev.java.net/servlets/ProjectMailingListList">mailing list</a> together have a few thousand participants. </p> <p> JavaCC works with any Java VM version 1.2 or greater. It has been certified to be 100% Pure Java. JavaCC has been tested on countless different platforms without any special porting requirements. Given that we have seen JavaCC run on only around 5 or 6 platforms, we think this is a great testimonial to the "Write Once Run Anywhere" aspect of the Java programming language. We say this as engineers who have personally experienced the benefits of writing Java applications. </p> <hr /> <h2>Getting the Software</h2> <p><a href="http://javacc.dev.java.net/servlets/ProjectDocumentList">Download</a> the latest release of JavaCC.</p> <p><i>Note: You need to enable cookies for the download link to work.</i></p> <h3>Third party contributions</h3> <p> An excellent <a href="http://www.engr.mun.ca/~theo/JavaCC-FAQ/">FAQ</a> is maintained by Theo Norvell at Memorial University of Newfoundland. </p> <p> A <a href="https://javacc.dev.java.net/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=110">repository of JavaCC grammars</a> is being maintained on the JavaCC home page.
