Definition: Parsers are individuals who interpret and process text or data using specific scripts, typically written in a language recognized by computers. In the context of interpreting, parsers typically analyze input data to extract relevant information from it, often by breaking down complex sentences into smaller parts that can be processed more efficiently by software. The term comes from Latin meaning "parser," which is a Greek word meaning "tenderly handling." It refers to individuals who carefully and accurately analyze text for their intended purpose of understanding and interpreting its content.
