Generally speaking, parse is an ergative verb i.e. ambitransitive with the subject of the intransitive form corresponding to the direct object of the transitive form. If a person or program can parse X into Y, then we say that X parses as Y. Note that the last sense is not quite the same as the penultimate; a string only parses if it can be parsed successfully.

parse (plural parses)

1. (computing, linguistics) An act of parsing; a parsing.

   The parse will fail if the program contains an unrecognised keyword.

2. (computing, linguistics) The result of such an act; a parsing.

   This parse is incorrect and indicates a fault in the parser.
