Parsing
In computer science and linguistics, parsing (more formally syntactic analysis) is the process of analyzing a sequence of tokens to determine its grammatical structure with respect to a given formal grammar. A parser is the component of a compiler that carries out this task.

Parsing transforms input text into a data structure, usually a tree, which is suitable for later processing and which captures the implied hierarchy of the input. Lexical analysis creates tokens from a sequence of input characters and it is these tokens that are processed by a parser to build a data structure such as parse tree or abstract syntax trees.
