What is CongoCC?

CongoCC is a more advanced version of the legacy JavaCC tool. The current version is the result of a huge amount of restructuring and refactoring with the following main goals:

  • To make the tool much more useful and usable, out of the box
  • To fix a lot of the design flaws of the legacy implementation
  • To clean up the code base such that it is now feasible to add features and, more generally speaking, to turn this into a genuine, active open source development effort.
  • Those who wish to know the key differences between CongoCC and the legacy JavaCC project, and in particular, why they would be better off using CongoCC, should start here: Key Differences between CongoCC and Legacy JavaCC.JavaCC.
