Package net.sf.saxon.ma.arrays

This package implements arrays, as introduced in XPath/XQuery 3.1: arrays provide a list-like data structure that (unlike sequences) allows nesting.

ArrayFunctionSet.ArrayTail	Implementation of the extension function array:tail(array) => item()*
ArrayFunctionSet.ArrayToSequence	Implementation of the extension function array:_to-sequence(array) => item()* which is used internally for the implementation of array?*
ArrayItemType	An instance of this class represents a specific array item type, for example function(xs:int) as xs:boolean
ArraySort	Implementation of the extension function array:sort(array, function) => array
SimpleArrayItem	A simple implementation of XDM array items, in which the array is backed by a Java List.
SquareArrayConstructor	An expression that delivers a fixed size array whose members are the result of evaluating corresponding expressions: [a,b,c,d]

Package net.sf.saxon.ma.arrays Description

This package implements arrays, as introduced in XPath/XQuery 3.1: arrays provide a list-like data structure that (unlike sequences) allows nesting.

Arrays are immutable, so that adding a new entry to an array creates a new array.

The entries in a array are arbitrary XDM sequences.

There are functions (each supported by its own implementation class) to create a new array, to add an entry to a array, to get an entry from an array, to get the size of an array, and so on..
