To get the most out of ANTLR, you should get The Definitive ANTLR Reference: Building Domain-Specific Languages. The book describes all features in detail, including the amazing new LL parsing technology, tree construction facilities, StringTemplate code generation template engine, and sophisticated ANTLRWorks GUI development environment. You'll learn all about ANTLR grammar syntax, resolving grammar ambiguities, parser fault tolerance and error reporting, embedding actions to interpret or translate languages, building intermediate-form trees, extracting information from trees, generating source code, and how to use the ANTLR Java API. The definitive reference is required reading to become an advanced user. For example, Part III provides the only thorough explanation available anywhere of ANTLR's LL(*) parsing strategy.
