About BNF files

BNF, or Backus-Naur Form, is a notation technique used to express the grammar of languages in computing, specifically in programming languages and data structures. This file type can be complex due to its highly technical nature, often used by developers and technical writers for defining syntax. For more information, you can visit the Wikipedia page on BNF.

Converting BNF files can be challenging due to their specificity and the need for accuracy in the syntax structure. It is crucial to maintain the integrity of the data when converting these files. Common conversions for BNF files include formats like .txt, .xml, and .json, which can be edited or processed by various programming tools.
