Parsing vs Validating

[levelboy]

When I see a method named parse with a payload as a parameter, I expect it to go through the payload and return a hash/object to better deal with the payload. e.g.

Time <- Time.parse(string)
Hash <- JSON.parse(string)

It looks like this gem uses the parse to raise an exception if the payload is not a valid JSONAPI document.

Are there plans to add parsing functionality in this gem?
