I like to convert a test file that pertain to some grammar into
the relative AST, so I think that parsing as in CS  compiler design is the
closer description, but I may be wrong. 
Then I need some api to navigate the AST generated, or more simple do
some walking on the AST generated.

Kindest Regards.
