# Pod::Simple::PullParserToken - man - phpman

## NAME
    [Pod::Simple::PullParserToken](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Pod%3A%3ASimple%3A%3APullParserToken/markdown) -- tokens from [Pod::Simple::PullParser](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Pod%3A%3ASimple%3A%3APullParser/markdown)

## SYNOPSIS
    Given a $parser that's an object of class [Pod::Simple::PullParser](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Pod%3A%3ASimple%3A%3APullParser/markdown) (or a subclass)...

      while(my $token = $parser->get_token) {
        $DEBUG and print STDERR "Token: ", $token->dump, "\n";
        if($token->is_start) {
          ...access $token->tagname, $token->attr, etc...

        } elsif($token->is_text) {
          ...access $token->text, $token->text_r, etc...

        } elsif($token->is_end) {
          ...access $token->tagname...

        }
      }

    (Also see [Pod::Simple::PullParser](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Pod%3A%3ASimple%3A%3APullParser/markdown))

## DESCRIPTION
    When you do $parser->get_token on a [Pod::Simple::PullParser](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Pod%3A%3ASimple%3A%3APullParser/markdown), you should get an object of a
    subclass of [Pod::Simple::PullParserToken](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Pod%3A%3ASimple%3A%3APullParserToken/markdown).

    Subclasses will add methods, and will also inherit these methods:

    $token->type
        This returns the type of the token. This will be either the string "start", the string
        "text", or the string "end".

        Once you know what the type of an object is, you then know what subclass it belongs to, and
        therefore what methods it supports.

        Yes, you could probably do the same thing with code like
        $token->isa('[Pod::Simple::PullParserEndToken](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Pod%3A%3ASimple%3A%3APullParserEndToken/markdown)'), but that's not so pretty as using just
        $token->type, or even the following shortcuts:

    $token->is_start
        This is a shortcut for "$token->type() eq "start""

    $token->is_text
        This is a shortcut for "$token->type() eq "text""

    $token->is_end
        This is a shortcut for "$token->type() eq "end""

    $token->dump
        This returns a handy stringified value of this object. This is useful for debugging, as in:

          while(my $token = $parser->get_token) {
            $DEBUG and print STDERR "Token: ", $token->dump, "\n";
            ...
          }
