Parsing ensures code is well formed and on it’s way to validation. It ensures that code is complete, proper and adheres to their exact specifications. Validation reduces code inconclusiveness.

Summary Points:

  • There are multiple ways to parse code, all with the same goal of adhering to the standard of said codes

  • All elements must be properly nested

  • Ensure the code document has proper start and end tags

  • Any diligent code editor such as Brackets, will parse the page and validate it’s structure
