Is it better to parse on the client or server side?

Question

PHP

I did not find a specific comparison / analysis, so I ask my question.
which method (backend or frontend) is still preferable for parsing?
I start to google something specific (on js, on php / python), and in every site this particular parser is praised.
and globally - what is the difference between approaches, the main fundamental differences that can lead to the conclusion that some method is BETTER?

Answer 1

who can conclude that some method is BETTER?

It doesn’t happen at all in our world that something is unequivocally “BETTER”, you don’t specify any details, you don’t even specify the data format for parsing, so the answer can only be given in general: if the client is made thick, then the client will need a powerful " hardware" so that your site does not "slow down" with it, and if you make the server thick, then the server will need powerful hardware, but if you provide it, then everything will fly on the client.
