The Syntax Definition Formalism is a metasyntax used to define context-free grammars: that is, a formal way to describe formal languages. It can express the entire range of context-free grammars. Its current version is SDF3. A parser and parser generator for SDF specifications are provided as part of the free ASF+SDF Meta Environment. These operate using the SGLR. An SDF parser outputs parse trees or, in the case of ambiguities, parse forests.
