# ParsingConfiguration
<a name="API_agent_ParsingConfiguration"></a>

Settings for parsing document contents. If you exclude this field, the default parser converts the contents of each document into text before splitting it into chunks. Specify the parsing strategy to use in the `parsingStrategy` field and include the relevant configuration, or omit it to use the Amazon Bedrock default parser. For more information, see [Parsing options for your data source](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/kb-advanced-parsing.html).

**Note**  
If you specify `BEDROCK_DATA_AUTOMATION` or `BEDROCK_FOUNDATION_MODEL` and it fails to parse a file, the Amazon Bedrock default parser will be used instead.
