Ask HN: What is the latest mainstream parser?

2 points by pdevr 4y ago ↗ HN

I am looking for a general purpose parser - something which is powerful to handle a variety of grammars. I am thinking of using Flex/Bison and AntLR.

Am I woefully behind? What is the latest and most powerful production quality parser available?

Can't go wrong with any of those, esp. antlr

Thanks. I am planning to use AntLR for the main parts and Flex/Bison on an as-needed basis.
