Class Summary

ExpressionLocation	Class to hold details of the location of an expression, of an error in a source file, etc.
ExpressionParser	Parser for XPath expressions and XSLT patterns.
ExpressionParser.TemporaryContainer	A Container used on a temporary basis to hold an expression while it is being parsed
ExpressionTool	This class, ExpressionTool, contains a number of useful static methods for manipulating expressions.
ExpressionVisitor	The ExpressionVisitor supports the various phases of processing of an expression tree which require a recursive walk of the tree structure visiting each node in turn.
ExpressionVisitor.ContextItemType	A data structure that represents the required type of the context item, together with information about whether it is known to be present or absent or whether it is not known statically whether it is present or absent.
Optimizer	This class performs optimizations that vary between different versions of the Saxon product.
PathMap	A PathMap is a description of all the paths followed by an expression.
PathMap.PathMapArc	An arc joining two nodes in the path map.
PathMap.PathMapNode	A node in the path map.
PathMap.PathMapNodeSet	A (mutable) set of nodes in the path map
PathMap.PathMapRoot	A root node in the path map.
PromotionOffer	PromotionOffer is an object used transiently during compilation of an expression.
RoleLocator	A RoleLocator identifies the role in which an expression is used, for example as the third argument of the concat() function.
