Results go to stdout. Save with `antlr4 run > output.txt`.
Use Cases
- Define grammar files and generate parsers for custom programming languages or DSLs
- Parse and transform structured text files like configuration formats or log files
- Build syntax highlighters and code formatters for custom language syntaxes
- Create compiler front-ends that generate ASTs from source code
- Validate and process complex data formats that standard regex cannot handle

Pros
- +Industry-standard parser generator with decades of proven reliability
- +Supports multiple target languages — Java, Python, JavaScript, C#, and more
- +Rich ecosystem of pre-built grammars for common languages and formats
Cons
- -Thin wrapper skill — essentially just references the ANTLR4 project without adding value
- -Steep learning curve for grammar definition and parser generator concepts
- -No custom configurations, templates, or simplified workflows beyond the default ANTLR4 tooling
