Are there tools to convert between ANTLR and other forms of BNF?
I wrote a translator for this purpose. Universal-transpiler is able to convert ANTLR grammars into PEG.js, nearley, ABNF, XBNF, and several other grammar notations. It is not yet able to translate ANTLR into W3C-BNF, but I will try to add this feature in a future version.
This translator is only compatible with a small subset of the ANTLR language, but I hope it will still be useful.
# Grammar Syntax
| | BNF | ISO EBNF | ABNF | ANTLR |
|:-----------------------------:|:-----------------------------:|:-----------------------------:|:-----------------------------:|:-----------------------------:|
| rule definition | `<name> ::= ...` | `name = ... ;` | `name = ...` | `name : ... ;` |
| terminal items | `...` | `'...'` or `"..."` | integer or `"..."` | `'...'` |
| non-terminal items | `<...>` | `...` | `...` or `<...>` | `...` |
| concatenation | (space) | `,` | (space) | (space) |
| choice | `|` | `|` | `/` | `|` |
| optional | requires choice syntax[^1] | `[...]` | `*1...` or `[...]` | `...?` |
| 0 or more repititions | requires choice syntax[^2] | `{...}` | `*...` | `...*` |
| 1 or more repititions | requires choice syntax[^3] | `{...}-` | `1*...` | `...+` |
| n repititions | | `n*...` | `n*n...` | |
| n to m repititions | | | `n*m...` | |
| grouping | | `(...)` | `(...)` | `(...)` |
| comment | | `(*...*)` | `;...` | `// ...` or `/* ... */` |
[^1]: `optionalb ::= a b c d | a c d`
[^2]: `list ::= | listitem list`
[^3]: `list ::= listitem | listitem list`
