An OSGi bundle for Saxon-HE
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.
