Saxon.Api
Class XPathExecutable 

public class XPathExecutable
implements object

An XPathExecutable represents the compiled form of an XPath expression. To evaluate the expression, it must first be loaded to form an XPathSelector.

An XPathExecutable is immutable, and therefore thread-safe. It is simplest to load a new XPathSelector each time the expression is to be evaluated. However, the XPathSelector is serially reusable within a single thread.

An XPathExecutable is created by using one of the Compile methods on the XPathCompiler class.

Method Summary
 IEnumerator EnumerateExternalVariables()

Get a list of external variables used by the expression. This will include both variables that were explicitly declared to the XPathCompiler, and (if the AllowUndeclaredVariables option was set) variables that are referenced within the expression but not explicitly declared.

 XPathSelector Load()

Load the compiled XPath expression to prepare it for execution.

 
Method Detail

EnumerateExternalVariables

public IEnumerator EnumerateExternalVariables()

Get a list of external variables used by the expression. This will include both variables that were explicitly declared to the XPathCompiler, and (if the AllowUndeclaredVariables option was set) variables that are referenced within the expression but not explicitly declared.

returns
An IEnumerator over the names of the external variables, as instances of QName.

Load

public XPathSelector Load()

Load the compiled XPath expression to prepare it for execution.

returns
An XPathSelector. The returned XPathSelector can be used to set up the dynamic context, and then to evaluate the expression.
