Parsing, or "syntactic analysis", is the process of converting a sequence of tokens, in a grammatical structure, based on a formal grammar.
In software, Parsing usually refers to taking a sequence of tokens, created from a (relatively) high level language by a Tokeniser, and inferring a (partially) syntacticly correct parse tree from it, for use in converting to a lower level language. It is part of the compilation process.
