Top-down parsing is a method of syntax analysis in the field of compiler design and programming language processing. In top-down parsing, the parser starts from the highest-level rule (typically the starting symbol of the grammar for the given language) and works its way down to the terminal symbols (the actual tokens in the input string). It essentially tries to construct a parse tree from the root down to the leaves.
