pegjs

PEG.js is a simple parser generator for JavaScript based on the parsing expression grammar formalism. It is similar to ANTLR in that it allows you to define grammars and generate parsers, but it is generally considered to be easier to use for simpler grammars and smaller projects.

nearley

Nearley is a fast, powerful parser toolkit for JavaScript. It is similar to ANTLR in that it allows you to define grammars and generate parsers, but it uses a different parsing algorithm (Earley parsing) which can handle a wider range of grammars, including ambiguous ones.

jison

Jison is a parser generator for JavaScript that is similar to ANTLR. It allows you to define grammars using a syntax similar to Bison/Yacc and generates parsers that can be used in JavaScript applications. Jison is often used for building compilers and interpreters for custom languages.
