Maintainers

SDF is an open source project, originating from CWI in the Netherlands as part of The Meta-Environment. It is an independent piece of software now, developed by and contributed to by several people from CWI, TU Eindhoven, TU Delft and others.

The current developers/maintainers are:

  • PGEN (SDF parse table generator)
    • Rob Economopoulos
    • Mark van den Brand
    • Jurgen Vinju

  • SGLR (SDF parse table interpreter, "the parser")
    • Rob Economopoulos
    • Jurgen Vinju
    • Mark van den Brand

Also note that SDF depends on other open source software such as the ATerm library and the UPTR (pt-support) parse forest representation library. For details about these components, please visit http://www.meta-environment.org. Any full SDF distribution includes these components, which are also open-source and released under the same license.
