Multiple language parser generator

Question

What parser generator can take a single grammar and create a parser in both C# and JavaScript?

ANTLR I have yet to get into Visual Studio (outdated documentation and packages). The goal is manage a single grammar for a subset of SQL (SELECT statements and new keywords specific to my problem domain) but generate two parsers (C#/JavaScript).

Answer 1

Is there a parser generator that can take a single grammar and create a parser in both c# and javascript?

The only one I am aware of is ANTLR. Note that ANTLR will not generate both a JavaScript- and C# based parser in one go though. You will have to change (at least) one option in the grammar and invoke org.antlr.Tool to generate a parser for your other target language.

I've tried using ANTLR, but I have yet to get it into Visual Studio

Then don't use Visual Studio, but use your favorite text editor (and use org.antlr.Tool from the console), or ANTLRWorks.
