Parsing and Linting Expressions
...............................

The ExpressionLanguage component provides a way to parse and lint expressions.
The :method:`Symfony\\Component\\ExpressionLanguage\\ExpressionLanguage::parse`
method returns a :class:`Symfony\\Component\\ExpressionLanguage\\ParsedExpression`
instance that can be used to inspect and manipulate the expression. The
:method:`Symfony\\Component\\ExpressionLanguage\\ExpressionLanguage::lint`, on the
other hand, returns a boolean indicating if the expression is valid or not::

use Symfony\Component\ExpressionLanguage\ExpressionLanguage;

$expressionLanguage = new ExpressionLanguage();

var_dump($expressionLanguage->parse('1 + 2'));
// displays the AST nodes of the expression which can be
// inspected and manipulated

var_dump($expressionLanguage->lint('1 + 2')); // displays true
