A: Parse has a few similar meanings. It usually means to process data in order to extract something useful. For example, you could parse words from text, "ireallylikestudyingenglish", we can parse "I, really, like, studying, english". It is a term used in data processing a lot, where the data must be exactly what we expect. So if a date is 05/11/2022 we could parse it as 5th of November 2022. Or if we're American we could parse it as 11th of May 2022.

I can't think of a situation that I wouldn't use parse in this technical sense. It's about processing data. It usually refers to using a computer to do it.

To analyse is simply to examine something in detail. If I examine a book, I would pick it up and look at it, perhaps I would open it and look at a few pages. But if I analyse a book, I would probably read the entire book and try to understand its meaning.

In a technical sense of analysing data, it would be to understand the meaning of it. So I could analyse "05112022" and I could establish that it's probably a date of some kind. Then I could parse it into a date. I could be asked to analyse a sales report, in which case I would be searching for patterns and useful information in general. If I was told to parse a sales report (which is a little bit of a strange request), then it could mean to extract the important data, such as make a new spreadsheet containing the sales totals and other important information.
