# Address Parsing activity

> Parse address fields extracted by other activities into street, city, state, country, and ZIP code components in Advanced Designer.

The Address Parsing activity is designed to parse addresses into the following components:

* Street
* City
* State
* Country
* Zip-code

The Address Parsing activity is used to parse the values of the fields extracted by other activities. Hence, in the document processing flow, Address Parsing activity should always be placed after an activity that extracts the address first.

<Warning>
  The activity only supports fields of type Text.
