@Certain for confirmation.
"For parsing" works because "parsing" is used as a gerund noun. (An argument could be made that an article is required, such that it should say "for a parsing," but articles are not always necessary.) Moreover, PancakeBrah, your initial analysis was correct, that "for" requires a noun.
