What is JavaCC?
JavaCC stands for “the Java Compiler Compiler”; it is a parser generator and lexical analyzer generator. JavaCC will read a description of a language and generate code, written in Java, that will read and analyze that language. JavaCC is particularly useful when you have to write code to deal with an input language has a complex structure; in that case, hand-crafting an input module without the help of a parser generator can be a difficult job.
