Hi,

I would like to choose a parser.

I would like to use a parser for text processing (natural language text). Which parser is suited in this case. In general which are the benefit to use boost spirit instead of ANTLR or ANTLR instead of boost spirit. Thank you.

ANTLR is LR, Spirit is LL. Spirit is embedded in C++, ANTLR is a separate preprocessor. Spirit is slow to compile and isn't very efficient at runtime, but it's fairly nice to use once you get used to it.
