Can you explain ANTLR?
"ANother Tool for Language Recognition" - It is a parser generator :)
You can use it in similar ways to regex but it is meant for bigger tasks (like detecting a c-struct) and it can also detect and locate errors.
Every programming language uses a parser to interpret the code or translate it to machine code.
Fun fact: Some parser generators even use regex to create the lexer, which is responsible for splitting the input into tokens.
