Top-down parsing

Top-down parsing is a strategy for analyzing a string of symbols to determine its grammatical structure according to a given formal grammar. It begins at the highest level of the parse tree and works its way down to the leaves, with common methods including recursive descent parsing and predictive parsing. This approach is typically used by compilers and interpreters to process programming languages, benefiting developers and computer scientists who need to understand or implement language parsers.
