# Net::Amazon::Property(3pm)

Baseclass for products on amazon.com

## NAME

Net::Amazon::Property - Baseclass for products on amazon.com

## SYNOPSIS

```
  use Net::Amazon;
  # ...
  if($resp->is_success()) {
      for my $prop ($resp->properties) {
          print $_->ProductName(), " ",
                $_->Manufacturer(), " ",
                $_->OurPrice(), "\n";
```

## DESCRIPTION

`"Net::Amazon::Property"` is the baseclass for results returned from Amazon web service queries. The term 'properties' is used as  a generic description for an item on amazon.com.

Typically, the `"properties()"` method of a `"Net::Amazon::Response::*"` object will return one or more objects of class `"Net::Amazon::Property"` or one of its subclasses, e.g. `"Net::Amazon::Property::Book"` or `"Net::Amazon::Property::CD"`.

While `"Net::Amazon::Property"` objects expose accessors for all  fields returned in the XML response (like `"OurPrice()"`, `"ListPrice()"`, `"Manufacturer()"`, `"Asin()"`, `"Catalog()"`, `"ProductName()"`, subclasses might define their own accessors to more class-specific fields (like the i`"Net::Amazon::Property::Book"`'s `"authors()"` method returning a list of authors, while `"Net::Amazon::Property"`'s `"Authors()"` method will return a reference to a sub-hash containing a `"Author"` field, just like the response's XML contained it).

### METHODS
