I was recently using antlr4 for one of my projects. But I have no idea what kind of parsing method they are using. While i was searching some resources i found a research paper which says ANTLR4 uses a parser called ALL(*). But i have no idea about that method and also I could not find any resource which explains ALL(*) method

Could anyone explain is ALL(*) the only method used by ANTLR4 and are there any web resources on ALL(*) method which explains it simple manner ?

Thank you

They do have a web site and several books. – Lex Li Jan 18 '16 at 02:09

ALL stands for adaptive LL-star - the latter meaning that it is an LL (top-down) parser with unlimited lookahead. That and the adaptive nature is all explained [here](http://www.antlr.org/papers/allstar-techreport.pdf). – 500 - Internal Server Error Jan 19 '16 at 22:22
