+### trim
+
+Normally, whitespace is preserved:
+
+```js
+parse('<br>\n'); // [React.createElement('br'), '\n']
+```
+
+By enabling the `trim` option, whitespace text nodes will be skipped:
+
+```js
+parse('<br>\n', { trim: true }); // React.createElement('br')
+```
+
+This addresses the warning:
+
+```
+Warning: validateDOMNesting(...): Whitespace text nodes cannot appear as a child of <table>. Make sure you don't have any extra whitespace between tags on each line of your source code.
+```
+
+However, this option may strip out intentional whitespace:
+
+```js
+parse('<p> </p>', { trim: true }); // React.createElement('p')
+```
