```
public void setStreaming(boolean option)
```
    Say whether the query should be compiled and evaluated to use streaming. This affects subsequent calls on the parseQuery() method. This option requires Saxon-EE.
    
    Parameters:
    
    option - if true, the compiler will attempt to compile a query to be capable of executing in streaming mode. If the query cannot be streamed, a compile-time exception is reported. In streaming mode, the source document is supplied as a stream, and no tree is built in memory. The default is false.
    
    Since:
    
    9.6

    Parameters:
    
    exp - the expression that calculates the content
    
    noNodeIfEmpty - if true, no node is produced when the value of the content expression is an empty sequence.

    env - the static context
    
    Returns:
