It is a large collection of formal grammars written for ANTLR v4, covering programming languages and file formats like Java, C++, C#, JSON and many others.
It is a large collection of formal grammars written for ANTLR v4, covering programming languages and file formats like Java, C++, C#, JSON and many others.Is this a parser library or a collection of grammar files?It is a collection of grammar definition files (.g4), one directory per language or format, meant to be fed into the ANTLR v4 tool to generate parsers in your target language.

Yes, these are raw grammar sources meant to be processed with the ANTLR v4 generator, which isn't included in this repo.Do these grammars include embedded code actions for my target language?No, the project explicitly expects grammars to be free of actions, keeping them target-language agnostic rather than tied to a specific runtime.
