public class Tie
extends Token

A Token that specifies a token to be parsed inside the result of a provided ValueExpression.

A Tie consists of a token (a Token) and a dataExpression (a ValueExpression). First dataExpression is evaluated. Then each value is used as an input to parse the token in. Tie succeeds if all parses of token in all results succeed. Tie fails if dataExpression evaluates to a list of values that is either empty or contains an invalid value.
