## Introduction

VMF-Text is a powerful framework for grammar-based language modeling: give it a labeled ANTLR4 grammar and it will generate a rich and clean API (based on [VMF](https://github.com/miho/VMF)) for (un)parsing and transforming custom textual languages. **The complete API is derived from just a single ANTLR4 grammar file!**

VMF-Text analyzes an ANTLR4 grammar file and derives a [VMF](https://github.com/miho/VMF) model from that. With that it generates the model code, just like any regular VMF based application. Additionally, it creates a very powerful API for parsing and (un)parsing instances of the VMF model. This allows for writing tools for analyzing and transforming textual data, such as code.
