Package net.sf.saxon.lib

This package collects together interfaces intended for user applications to implement in order to customize Saxon's behavior, default implementations of these interfaces, and classes containing constants that are used in public Saxon interfaces.

These interfaces were brought together into this package in Saxon 9.3, having previously been dispersed around the package hierarchy and mixed with classes and interfaces intended only for internal use.

Interface Summary

Interface	Description
CollationURIResolver	A CollationURIResolver accepts a collation name as input, and returns a collation (represented by a StringCollator as output.
CollectionFinder	An instance of CollectionFinder can be registered with the Saxon configuration; it is called in response to calls on the fn:collection() and fn:uri-collection() functions.
EnvironmentVariableResolver	This interface defines a Saxon plug-in used to resolve calls on the XPath 3.0 functions available-environment-variables() and environment-variable().
ErrorReporter	The ErrorReporter is a generic functional interface for reporting errors and warnings.
ExternalObjectModel	This interface must be implemented by any third-party object model that can be wrapped with a wrapper that implements the Saxon Object Model (the NodeInfo interface).
FunctionAnnotationHandler	Interface to a user-supplied class that handles XQuery annotation assertions in a particular namespace.
Initializer	This interface can be implemented by users (there are no implementations in Saxon itself).
Invalidity	An Invalidity is a validation error, that is, a failure of the instance document to conform to the schema being used for validation.
InvalidityHandler	Interface for reporting validation errors found during validation of an instance document against a schema.
ModuleURIResolver	A ModuleURIResolver is used when resolving references to query modules.
Numberer	Interface Numberer supports number formatting.
OutputURIResolver	This interface defines an OutputURIResolver.
RelativeURIResolver	The standard JAXP URIResolver is given a relative URI and a base URI and returns the resource identified by this combination.
Resource	This interface defines a Resource.
ResourceCollection	This interface defines a ResourceCollection.
ResourceFactory	A ResourceFactory is used for constructing a particular type of resource
ResultDocumentResolver	The ResultDocumentResolver interface may be implemented by a user application; it is a callback that is called whenever an xsl:result-document instruction is executed.
SchemaURIResolver	A SchemaURIResolver is used when resolving references to schema documents.
SourceResolver	This interface defines a SourceResolver.
StAXResultHandler	StAxResultHandler is a helper class
StringCollator	This interface represents a "collation" as defined in XPath, that is, a set of rules for comparing strings
SubstringMatcher	This interface is implemented by a collation that is capable of supporting the XPath functions that require matching of a substring: namely contains(), starts-with, ends-with, substring-before, and substring-after.
TraceListener	This interface defines methods that are called by Saxon during the execution of a stylesheet, if tracing is switched on.
UnparsedTextURIResolver	An UnparsedTextURIResolver accepts an absolute URI and optionally an encoding name as input, and returns a Reader as its result.
URIChecker	This interface defines a method for checking whether a string is considered to be a valid URI.
ValidationStatisticsRecipient	Defines a class that is notified of validation statistics at the end of a validation episode

Class Summary

Class	Description
AugmentedSource	This class is an extension of the JAXP Source interface.
ConversionRules	This class defines a set of rules for converting between different atomic types.
EmptySource	This class is an implementation of the JAXP Source interface.
ErrorReporterToListener	A bridging class that allows errors in an XSLT Transformation, or in a Query, to be reported to a JAXP ErrorListener.
ExtensionFunctionCall	This abstract class is provided to allow user-written extension functions to be implemented with the full capabilities of functions that are an intrinsic part of the Saxon product.
ExtensionFunctionDefinition	This abstract class is provided to allow user-written extension functions to be implemented with the full capabilities of functions that are an intrinsic part of the Saxon product.
Feature<T>	Feature defines a set of constants, representing the details of Saxon configuration options which can be supplied to the Saxon method Configuration.setProperty(), and to other interfaces
FeatureCode	FeatureCode defines a set of integer constants, representing unique identifiers for the features that can be configured.
FeatureKeys	FeatureKeys defines a set of constants, representing the names of Saxon configuration options which can be supplied to the Saxon implementations of the JAXP interfaces TransformerFactory, SchemaFactory, Validator, and ValidationHandler, and to other interfaces such as the s9api Processor

InvalidityHandlerWrappingErrorReporter	Interface for reporting validation errors found during validation of an instance document against a schema.
InvalidityReportGenerator	This class InvalidityReportGenerator extends the standard error handler for errors found during validation of an instance document against a schema, used if user specifies -report option on validate.
LocalizerFactory	Interface allowing localization modules for different languages to be dynamically loaded
Logger	Interface to diagnostic event logging mechanism.
NamespaceConstant	This class is not instantiated, it exists to hold a set of constants representing known namespaces.
OutputURIResolverWrapper	This class is an implementation of the ResultDocumentResolver interface that wraps a supplied OutputURIResolver.
ParseOptions	This class defines options for parsing and/or validating a source document.
ProtocolRestricter	This class implements the rules in a property such as XMLConstants.ACCESS_EXTERNAL_SCHEMA, which constrain the set of URIs that can be used by supplying a list of permitted protocols.
RawResult	This class is an implementation of the JAXP Result interface.
RedirectHandler
SaxonOutputKeys	Provides string constants that can be used to set output properties for a Transformer, or to retrieve output properties from a Transformer or Templates object.
SerializerFactory	Helper class to construct a serialization pipeline for a given result destination and a given set of output properties.
StandardCollationURIResolver	StandardCollationURIResolver allows a Collation to be created given a URI starting with "http://saxon.sf.net/collation" followed by a set of query parameters.
StandardDiagnostics	This class is an abstract superclass of classes such as the StandardErrorListener and StandardInvalidityHandler, and exists to provide common utility methods for these classes, and for similar user-written classes if required
