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.
CollectionURIResolver	Deprecated since 9.7: use `CollectionFinder`.
EnvironmentVariableResolver	This interface defines a Saxon plug-in used to resolve calls on the XPath 3.0 functions available-environment-variables() and environment-variable().
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
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.
TraceListener2	This interface defines methods that are called by Saxon during the execution of a stylesheet, if tracing is switched on.
UnfailingErrorListener	Created by IntelliJ IDEA.
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.
DelegatingErrorListener	UnfailingErrorListener is an implementation of the JAXP ErrorListener interface that wraps a supplied ErrorListener and never throws an exception
ErrorGatherer
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.
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`
InvalidityHandlerWrappingErrorListener	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.
ParseOptions	This class defines options for parsing and/or validating a source document.
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.
SimpleFunctionAnnotationHandler	A simple function annotation handler that handles an annotation namespace where the annotations are simple named properties that are either present or absent; if a property name is used in an annotation assertion then it only matches a function where the property is present; property names can be prefixed "not-" in an annotation assertion to indicate that the relevant property must be absent
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.
StandardCollectionURIResolver	This class implements the default collection URI Resolver.
StandardCollectionURIResolver.FileExpander	Mapping function to process the files in a directory.
StandardEntityResolver	This class is an EntityResolver used to resolve references to common DTDs and entity files, using local copies provided with the Saxon product.
StandardEnvironmentVariableResolver	Default implementation of the `EnvironmentVariableResolver`.
StandardErrorHandler	A default implementation of the SAX ErrorHandler interface.
StandardErrorListener	StandardErrorListener is the standard error handler for XSLT and XQuery processing errors, used if no other ErrorListener is nominated.
StandardInvalidityHandler	This class `StandardInvalidityHandler`, despite its name, is not directly used by Saxon, and in particular it is NOT the default InvalidityHandler.
StandardLogger	The default Logger used by Saxon on the Java platform.
StandardModuleURIResolver	This class is the standard ModuleURIResolver used to implement the "import module" declaration in a Query Prolog.
StandardOutputResolver	This class defines the default OutputURIResolver.
StandardUnparsedTextResolver	Default implementation of the UnparsedTextURIResolver, used if no other implementation is nominated to the Configuration.
StandardURIChecker	This class checks whether a string is a valid URI.
StandardURIResolver	This class provides the service of converting a URI into an `Source`.
StaticQueryContextFactory	Factory class for creating a customized instance of StaticQueryContext
Validation	This class contains constants and static methods to manipulate the validation property of a type.
XQueryFunctionAnnotationHandler	Function annotation handler for annotations in the built-in namespace http://www.w3.org/2012/xquery.

Package net.sf.saxon.lib Description

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.
