Russ Weakley started the article with the explanation of Backus-Naur Form :

Backus–Naur Form (BNF) is a formal notation used to describe the syntax of computer languages. It is designed to be unambiguous, so that there is no disagreement or ambiguity as to how the language can be expressed.

A wide range of extensions and variants of the original Backus–Naur notation are used today, including Extended Backus–Naur Form (EBNF) and Augmented Backus–Naur Form (ABNF).
