A '''lookahead LR parser (LALR) generator''' is a software tool that reads a [[
There are other types of [[parser generator]]s, such as [[Simple LR parser]], [[LR parser]], [[GLR parser]], [[LL parser]] and [[GLL parser]] generators. What differentiates one from another is the type of
In practice, LALR offers a good solution, because LALR(1) grammars are more powerful than SLR(1), and can parse most practical LL(1) grammars. LR(1) grammars are more powerful than LALR(1), but ("canonical") LR(1) parsers can be extremely large in size and are considered not practical. Minimal LR(1) parsers are small in size and comparable to LALR(1) parsers.
