Parsing vs Pattern Matching in Regex

JavaScript
#1

What is:

  1. Pattern matching in regular expression
  2. Parsing in regular expression
  3. Why is it fine to pattern match HTML strings, but parsing HTML is not?

If you can give me an example of each, it would really help me understand.

Thank you in advance! :slight_smile:
