+ANTLR, ANother Tool for Language Recognition, is a language tool that provides a
+framework for constructing recognizers, interpreters, compilers, and translators
+from grammatical descriptions containing actions in a variety of target
+languages. ANTLR provides excellent support for tree construction, tree walking,
+translation, error recovery, and error reporting.
