ANTLR (ANother Tool for Language Recognition) is a powerful parser generator for reading, processing, executing, or translating structured text or binary files. It's widely used to build languages, tools, and frameworks. From a grammar, ANTLR generates a parser that can build and walk parse trees.

## INTRODUCTION
Hi and welcome to the Honey Badger 4.1 release of ANTLR!
INSTALLATION
## INSTALLATION
UNIX
### UNIX
0. Install Java (version 1.6 or higher)
0. [Install Java](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html) (version 1.6 or higher)
1. Download
```sh
$ cd /usr/local/lib
$ curl -O http://www.antlr4.org/download/antlr-4.1-complete.jar
```
Or just [download in browser](http://www.antlr4.org/download/antlr-4.1-complete.jar) and put it somewhere rational like `/usr/local/lib`.
Or just download in browser using URL:
http://www.antlr4.org/download/antlr-4.1-complete.jar
and put it somewhere rational like /usr/local/lib.
2. Add antlr-4.1-complete.jar to your CLASSPATH:
2. Add `antlr-4.1-complete.jar` to your `CLASSPATH`:
```sh
$ export CLASSPATH=".:/usr/local/lib/antlr-4.1-complete.jar:$CLASSPATH"
```
Is also a good idea to put this in your .bash_profile or whatever your
startup script is.
3. Create aliases for the ANTLR Tool, and TestRig.
```sh
$ alias antlr4='java -jar /usr/local/lib/antlr-4.1-complete.jar'
$ alias grun='java org.antlr.v4.runtime.misc.TestRig'
```

0. [Install Java](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html) (version 1.6 or higher)
1. Download http://antlr.org/download/antlr-4.1-complete.jar
Save to your directory for 3rd party Java libraries, say C:\Javalib
1. Download [antlr-4.1-complete.jar](http://antlr.org/download/antlr-4.1-complete.jar)
Save to your directory for 3rd party Java libraries, say `C:\Javalib`
2. Add antlr-4.1-complete.jar to CLASSPATH, either:
2. Add `antlr-4.1-complete.jar` to `CLASSPATH`, either:
* Permanently: Using System Properties dialog > Environment variables >
Create or append to CLASSPATH variable
Create or append to `CLASSPATH` variable
* Temporarily, at command line:
SET CLASSPATH=C:\Javalib\antlr-4.1-complete.jar;%CLASSPATH%
`SET CLASSPATH=C:\Javalib\antlr-4.1-complete.jar;%CLASSPATH%`
3. Create short convenient commands for the ANTLR Tool, and TestRig,
using batch files or doskey commands:
* Batch files (in directory in system PATH)
* Batch files (in directory in system `PATH`)
```
antlr4.bat: java org.antlr.v4.Tool %*
run.bat: java org.antlr.v4.runtime.misc.TestRig %*
```
* Or, use doskey commands:
```bat
doskey antlr4=java org.antlr.v4.Tool $*
doskey grun =java org.antlr.v4.runtime.misc.TestRig $*
```
TESTING INSTALLATION
Either launch org.antlr.v4.Tool directly:
## Testing installation
Either launch `org.antlr.v4.Tool` directly:
```sh
$ java org.antlr.v4.Tool
ANTLR Parser Generator Version 4.1
-o ___ specify output directory where all output is generated
-lib ___ specify location of .tokens files
...
or use -jar option on java:
```
or use `-jar` option on java:
```sh
$ java -jar /usr/local/lib/antlr-4.1-complete.jar
ANTLR Parser Generator Version 4.1
-o ___ specify output directory where all output is generated
-lib ___ specify location of .tokens files
...
```
## Example
EXAMPLE
In a temporary directory, put the following grammar inside file Hello.g4:
In a temporary directory, put the following grammar inside file `Hello.g4`:
```g
// Define a grammar called Hello
// match keyword hello followed by an identifier
// match lower-case identifiers
@ -95,27 +96,39 @@ grammar Hello;
r : 'hello' ID ;
ID : [a-z]+ ;
WS : [ \t\n]+ -> skip ; // skip spaces, tabs, newlines
```
Then run ANTLR the tool on it:
```sh
$ cd /tmp
$ antlr4 Hello.g4
$ javac Hello*.java
```
Now test it:
```sh
$ grun Hello r -tree
hello parrt
^D
(r hello parrt)
```
(That `^D` means `EOF` on unix; it's `^Z` in Windows.) The `-tree` option prints the parse tree in LISP notation.
(That ^D means EOF on unix; it's ^Z in Windows.) The -tree option prints
the parse tree in LISP notation.
## The Definitive ANTLR 4 Reference
You can by a book [The Definitive ANTLR 4 Reference](http://pragprog.com/book/tpantlr2/the-definitive-antlr-4-reference)

Programmers run into parsing problems all the time. Whether its a data format like JSON, a network protocol like SMTP, a server configuration file for Apache, a PostScript/PDF file, or a simple spreadsheet macro language—ANTLR v4 and this book will demystify the process. ANTLR v4 has been rewritten from scratch to make it easier than ever to build parsers and the language applications built on top. This completely rewritten new edition of the bestselling Definitive ANTLR Reference shows you how to take advantage of these new features.

## Addinitional grammars
[This repository](https://github.com/antlr/grammars-v4) is a collection of grammars without actions where the
root directory name is the all-lowercase name of the language parsed
by the grammar. For example, java, cpp, csharp, c, etc...
