    Package overview for net.sf.saxon.sxpath




This package provides an alternative API for executing XPath expressions
    directly from a Java application: unlike the API in package net.sf.saxon.xpath, these
    interfaces are not dependent on JAXP 1.3. The API can be used either in a free-standing
    Java application (that is, where there is no XSLT stylesheet), or it can be
    used from within Java extension functions called from XPath expressions within
    a stylesheet.

The preferred API for executing XPath expressions in Saxon is the s9api
    package. This package is older, and provides a lower-level interface that offers access to more
    internal details, but is not so convenient to use.
