$input = "9782956420132";

Isbn::parse returns a ParsedIsbn object implementing the following methods:

• ParsedIsbn->getGs1Element:: EAN product code
• ParsedIsbn->getRegistrationGroupElement: Country, geographical region or language aera code
• ParsedIsbn->getRegistrantElement: Publisher (or imprint within a group) code
• ParsedIsbn->getPublicationElement: Publication code
• ParsedIsbn->getCheckDigit: Checksum used for validation

Development
