At the beginning of this chapter, we saw a list of container objects including Doc, Token, Span, and Lexeme. In this section, we’ll see the properties of container objects in detail.
Using container objects, we can access the linguistic properties that spaCy assigns to text. A container object is a logical representation of text units such as a document, a token, or a slice of a document.
Container objects in spaCy follow the natural structure of the text: a document is composed of sentences and sentences are composed of tokens. We most widely use Doc, Token, and Span objects in development, which represent a document, a single token, and a phrase, respectively.
