ABSTRACT
In this poster we present VAST, a visualization tool to support teaching language processors. On the one hand, VAST provides an API that allows generating visualizations of abstract syntax trees (AST). This process is independent of the parser generator. On the other hand, VAST provides an advanced interface to animate the AST construction process and to cope with huge ones.
