[antlr-interest] antlrworks interpreter like serialized parse tree

[Candide Kemmler]

That's very interesting. I don't want to create an image, no: only a structured data representation (XML or JSON).
Can you elaborate a little bit on how to enable the debug option ("debug = true" is not working for me) and then how to listen to the debugging events?

Thanks a lot for your quick and enlightening answer :-)
