ANTLR is a parser generator that uses LL(k) parsing. ANTLR's predecessor is a parser generator known as PCCTS.
ANTLR stands for "ANother Tool for Language Recognition". Given that ANTLR is in competition with LR parser generators, the alternative reading "ANT(i)-LR" may not be accidental. ANTLR rules are expressed in a format deliberately similar to EBNF instead of the regular expression syntax employed by other parser generators.
At the moment, ANTLR supports generating code in the following languages: C++, Java, Python, C#.
For an introduction, see the ANTLR tutorial at the University of Birmingham. For background on the theory, see articles from the ANTLR pages, e.g. an ANTLR journal paper.
An IDE called ANTLR Studio that plugs into the Eclipse development environment is also available.
