JavaCC
(Redirected from Javacc)
JavaCC (Java Compiler Compiler) is a parser generator for the Java programming language. JavaCC is similar to Yacc in that it generates a parser for a grammar provided in BNF notation, except the output is Java source code.
In 1996, Sun Microsystems released a parser generator called Jack. The developers responsible for Jack created their own company called Metamata and changed the Jack name to JavaCC. Metamata eventually became part of WebGain. After WebGain shut down its operations, JavaCC was moved to its current home.
