'''parboiled''' is an open-source [Java](/source/Java_(programming_language)) library released under an [Apache License](/source/Apache_License). It provides support for defining [PEG](/source/Parsing_expression_grammar) parsers directly in Java source code.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Kumar |first=Jayant |title=Apache Solr Search Patterns: Leverage the Power of Apache Solr to Power Up Your Business by Navigating Your Users to Their Data Quickly and Efficiently |publisher=[Packt Publishing](/source/Packt_Publishing) |year=2015 |isbn=9781783981854 |pages=69}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Darwin |first=Ian F. |title=Java Cookbook: Solutions and Examples for Java Developers |publisher=[O'Reilly](/source/O'Reilly_Media) |year=2014 |isbn=9781449338824 |edition=3rd |pages=317}}</ref>

parboiled is commonly used as an alternative for [regular expressions](/source/regular_expressions) or [parser generators](/source/parser_generators) (like [ANTLR](/source/ANTLR) or [JavaCC](/source/JavaCC)), especially for smaller and medium-size applications.

Apart from providing the constructs for grammar definition parboiled implements a complete [recursive descent parser](/source/recursive_descent_parser) with support for [abstract syntax tree](/source/abstract_syntax_tree) construction, parse error reporting and parse error recovery.{{Portal|Free and open-source software}}
