Think of parse meaning js like translating a foreign language into English.
Your app gets data as a string (e.g., from an API), and parsing converts it into something JS understands.
Example:
```js
const data = JSON.parse('{"age": 30}');
console.log(data.age); // 30
```
Pro tip: Use `JSON.stringify()` to go the other way (object → string).
