    <p>I'm currently working on a project that makes use of a custom language with a simple <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Context-free_grammar" rel="nofollow">context-free grammar</a>.</p> <p>Due to the project's characteristics the same language will have to be used on several platforms, especially mobile ones. Currently, I'm using my small hand-written <strong>Java</strong> parser (for the Android platform). Soon, I'll have to write basically the same parser for <strong>JavaScript</strong> and later possibly also for <strong>C#</strong> (Windows Phone) and <strong>Objective C</strong> (iOS). There is an additional chance that I'll also have to write it for <strong>PHP</strong>.</p> <hr> <p>My question is: What options are there to simplify the parser development process? Do I really have to write basically the same parser for each platform or is there a less work-intensive way?</p> <hr> <p>From a development process point of view the best alternative would enable me to write a grammar definition which would then automatically be compiled into a parser.</p> <p>However, basically the only cross-platform parser generator I've found so far it the <a href="http://goldparser.org/" rel="nofollow">GOLD Parser</a> which supports two of my target platforms (Java and C#). It would really be awesome if you could point me to other alternatives.</p> <p>In case you don't know about other cross-platform compiler-compilers: Do you have hints how to structure the code towards future language extensibility?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
