Parse normalize rules operate on a text string and perform string substitutions, to produce a normalized output text string. Normalization can replace multiple variants of a word or other text with a uniform, normalized value. Such normalization can make later operations on the normalized string simpler or faster.

For example, the original text string may contain a date or amount in any one of a variety of formats. If the desired date format is YYYY-MM-DD (for example 2009-10-12), parse normalize rules can search for dates in other formats and replace the value with the normalized format.
