Javascript parser generator [closed]

Question

I've seen some javascript parser generators:

1. Jison (http://zaach.github.com/jison/)

2. PEG.js (http://pegjs.majda.cz/)

3. ANTLR (http://www.antlr.org/)

4. JS/CC (http://jscc.jmksf.com/)

Does any one have any experience with them?

What are the pros and cons? Are these libraries ready for production? And performance?

EDIT:
I want to parse and run a different language in javascript

Answer 1

PEG.js is incredibly easy to work with. Its "try online" feature is really useful in learning how to use the system quickly. I'm currently using it in the Rhino environment to parse a language I'm writing. I'm not a big fan of Rhino, but PEG.js sure is nice.

Answer 2

I'm not sure if you want a parser generator that would spit a JavaScript written parser or a parser generator that would use a JavaScript grammar to build a JavaScript parser.

Anyway, I've only used ANTLR and JavaCC. ANTLR allows you to generate your parser in different languages (C, C#, Java) and it's pretty cool checking your Context-free grammar expressions on their GUI tree-like form. Never found a JavaScript grammar for it though.

JavaCC has a downside. Only generates the parser in Java. On the other hand, I found it easier to learn and to step from the part where you build the parser to - what I found to be the best part - building whatever you want around it e.g., code translator, rephraser, etc, etc.
