Create Your Own Compiler in C# Using ANTLR: A Practical Guide: Building a Programming Language: ANTLR and C# Edition

by Santosh Singh

If you're a C# developer who wants to create your own DSL and compiler using ANTLR, this book is for you. While writing a compiler may not be a top priority for most programmers, it can be a rewarding side project or hobby. With ANTLR, you can generate parsers and lexers to read, process, execute, or translate structured text or binary files.

In this book, you'll learn how to use ANTLR to build your own compiler and gain a better understanding of how it works. You'll find real-world examples, including parsing CSV files, converting them to JSON, and even running SQL queries on MongoDB. The book also includes a concluding project called "JavaScript mini" that brings everything together.

I wrote this book because I wanted to create a simple compiler using C#, but found few resources on the subject. Most publications and books focused on Java. With this book, C# developers can learn how to create their own compilers using ANTLR and take their programming skills to the next level.
