-There are mainly two kinds of parsing: [string parsing](https://github.com/twitter/twemoji#string-parsing) and [DOM parsing](https://github.com/twitter/twemoji#dom-parsing).
+Although there are two kinds of parsing supported by this utility, we recommend you use [DOM parsing](https://github.com/twitter/twemoji#dom-parsing), explained below. Each type of parsing accepts a callback to generate an image source or an options object with parsing info.

+The second kind of parsing is string parsing, explained in the legacy documentation [here](https://github.com/twitter/twemoji/blob/master/LEGACY.md#string-parsing). This is unrecommended because this method does not sanitize the string or otherwise prevent malicious code from being executed; such sanitization is out of scope.

 If security is a major concern, this parsing can be considered the safest option but with a slight performance penalty due to DOM operations that are inevitably *costly*.
