+
+## Problem Description
+
+Given a string s represents the serialization of a nested list, implement a parser to deserialize it and return the deserialized `NestedInteger`.
+
+Each element is either an integer or a list whose elements may also be integers or other lists.
+
+### Examples
+
+**Example 1:**
+
+```
+Input: s = "324"
+Output: 324
+Explanation: You should return a NestedInteger object which contains a single integer 324.
+
+```
+**Example 2:**
+```
+
+Input: s = "[123,[456,[789]]]"
+Output: [123,[456,[789]]]
+Explanation: Return a NestedInteger object containing a nested list with 2 elements:
+1. An integer containing value 123.
+2. A nested list containing two elements:
+    i.  An integer containing value 456.
+    ii. A nested list with one element:
+         a. An integer containing value 789
+
+```
+### Constraints
+
+- `1 <= s.length <= 5 * 10^4`
+- `s is the serialization of valid NestedInteger`
+- `All the values in the input are in the range [-10^6, 10^6]`
+
+## Solution for Mini Parser
+
+### Approach 
+
+This solution uses a stack to record the `NestedInteger`'s.
+At the very beginning, an empty NestedInteger is placed in the stack. This NestedInteger will be regarded as a list that holds one but only one NestedInteger, which will be returned in the end.
+`Logic: When encountering '[', the stack has one more element. When encountering ']', the stack has one less element`.
