The parsing problem is one of the key problems of graph grammars. The typical parsing algorithm uses the bottom-up method. The time-complexity of this method is high, and it is difficult to apply. In order to reduce the time-complexity, this paper uses the top-down method for parsing. This method avoids the subgraph isomorphism judgment and selects the productions specifically, so that the time-complexity is greatly reduced.
