+#### Parsed Responses

+Some methods support an `encoding` parameter, and can return account or
+instruction data in parsed JSON format if `"encoding":"jsonParsed"` is requested
+and the node has a parser for the owning program. Solana nodes currently support
+JSON parsing for the following native and SPL programs:

+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Address Lookup | v1.12.0 |   |
+| BPF Loader | n/a | stable |

+The list of account parsers can be found [here](https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/blob/master/account-decoder/src/parse_account_data.rs), and instruction parsers [here](https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/blob/master/transaction-status/src/parse_instruction.rs).
