[antlr-interest] Newby - How to use Parser/Lexer in Code?

[Jim Idle]

It might be a bit of overkill but only that it would generate more code
than you really need to parse a fairly simple thing. If there is nothing
already out there and you don't feel like hand crafting the thing, then
I would just go ahead and use ANTLR. It shouldn't take very long at all
to do. Do you have a formal spec for it given that it isn't a 'real'
URI?
