public class DeepEqual
extends SystemFunction

Implements the saxon:deep-equal() function, a variant of fn:deep-equal that provides additional control over how the comparison is performed.

The specification is as follows:

arg1 The first sequence to be compared

arg2 The second sequence to be compared

collation The collation to be used (null if the default collation is to be used)

flags A string whose characters select options that cause the comparison to vary from the standard fn:deep-equals() function. The flags are:

• N - take namespace nodes into account
• J - join adjacent text nodes (e.g, nodes either side of a comment)
• A - compare type annotations
• C - take comments into account
• F - take namespace prefixes into account
• I - take the is-id() and is-idref() properties into account
• P - take processing instructions into account
• S - compare string values, not typed values
• w - don't take whitespace-only text nodes into account

returns true if the sequences are deep equal, otherwise false

call

public BooleanValue call(XPathContext context,
                         Sequence[] arguments)
                  throws XPathException

Evaluate this function call at run-time

Parameters:

context - The XPath dynamic evaluation context

arguments - The values of the arguments to the function call. Each argument value (which is in general a sequence) is supplied in the form of a sequence.

Returns:

the results of the function.

Throws:

XPathException - if a dynamic error occurs during evaluation of the function. The Saxon run-time code will add information about the error location.
