Top-down parsing is a strategy of analyzing unknown data relationships by hypothesizing general parse tree structures and then considering whether the known fundamental structures are compatible with the hypothesis. It uses a top-down expansion of formal grammar rules to attempt to find left-most derivations of an input-stream, and more sophisticated implementations can accommodate ambiguity and left recursion in polynomial time.
