     * @tag1
     * @tag2 tag2 description
     */
    public function foo() {
        return "bar";
    }
}

$reflectionClass = new ReflectionClass("ExampleClass");
$methods = $reflectionClass->getMethods();
$parsedMethods = array_map(function($method) {
    $c = new Comment($method->getDocComment());
    $c->parse();

    return [
        'methodname'  => $method->name,
        'title'       => $c->getTitle(),
        'description' => $c->getDescription(),
        'tags'        => $c->getTags()
        /**
         * You can also access specific tags like so:
         * $c->getTag('tag1') or
         * $c->getTags('param') if you use one tag multiple times
         */
    ];
}, $methods);
print_r($parsedMethods);
