Configuration using the .NET API
In Saxon's Saxon.Api interface on .NET, the root API object is the Saxon.Api.Processor object.
This again is a wrapper around a Configuration. All the configuration properties are
exposed via the Processor
methods getProperty(name)
and setProperty(name, value)
which map directly to the
methods getConfigurationProperty(name)
and setConfigurationProperty(name, value)
on the underlying
Configuration
.
The Saxon.Api Processor
object also has a constructor new Processor(stream)
which allows the underlying
Configuration
to be built from a supplied configuration file, which must have the format described in Configuration file. Configuration files are available only in Saxon-PE and Saxon-EE.
In many cases with the Saxon.Api interface it is more appropriate to set options at a finer level of granularity than the Processor
.
For example, options that affect XSLT stylesheet compilation can be set on the XsltCompiler
object, and options that affect XQuery compilation on the XQueryCompiler.
