In what way is ANTLR better than bison?
- pjmlp 9y agoLL(*), with IDE tooling and visual debugger for all parsing phases.
- wslh 9y agoMultiple language targets
- CalChris 9y agoANTLR combines lexical analysis and parsing, flex+bison, into a single tool. To me, ANTLR4 sets the bar pretty high. I'm not opposed to learning a new tool like parser combinators but I'd need an article that showed the differences between ANTLR4 and PCs, showing how it was much easier in PCs rather than it was just 2017. I'd add that ANTLR has really good documentation.
