Bison generates parsers for general-purpose use.
In terms of compatibility, Bison is upwards compatible with Yacc. This means that all grammars written properly with Yacc are expected to function without any modification when used with Bison. Users who are familiar with Yacc should find using Bison intuitive and simple to execute.
It is worth noting that you need to have a good understanding of C programming in order to use Bison effectively. While this may present a challenge to some users, it also means that Bison can be used to create highly-customized and efficient parsers for any software project requiring one. Overall, Bison's flexibility and compatibility make it a great choice for those who are serious about creating their own parsers.
