I need to quickly build a parser for a very simplified version of a html-like markup language in Java. In python, I would use pyparsing library to do this. Is there something similar for Java? Please, don't suggest libraries already out there for html parsing, my application is a school assignment which will demonstrate walking a tree of objects and serializing to text using visitor pattern, so I'm not thinking in real world terms here. Basically all I need here is tags, attributes and text nodes.

The parser module provides an interface to Python's internal parser and byte-code compiler. The primary purpose for this interface is to allow Python code to edit the parse tree of a Python expression and create executable code from this.
A parser generator takes a grammar as input and automatically generates source code that can parse streams of characters using the grammar. The generated code is a parser, which takes a sequence of characters and tries to match the sequence against the grammar.
A parser is a Java class that extracts attributes from a local file and stores the information in the repository. More specifically, in the case of a document, a parser: Takes in an InputStream or Reader object. Processes the character input, extracting attributes as it goes.
There are three ways of parsing in Java: Using an existing library. Using a tool or library to build a parser. By building a custom parser from scratch.
Another good parser generator is ANTLR, that might be what you're looking for.
