Parsing in NLP refers to the understanding of a sentence and its grammatical structure by a machine. Parsing allows the machine to understand the meaning of a word in a sentence and the grouping of words, phrases, nouns, subjects, and objects in a sentence. Parsing helps analyze the text or the document to extract useful insights from it. To understand parsing, refer to the below diagram:
