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.

Class Summary

Class	Description
AbstractArrayItem	An abstract implementation of XDM array items, containing methods that can be implemented generically.
ArrayFunctionSet	Function signatures (and pointers to implementations) of the functions defined in XPath 2.0
ArrayFunctionSet.ArrayAppend	Implementation of the function array:append(array, item()*) => array
ArrayFunctionSet.ArrayFilter	Implementation of the function array:filter(array, function) => array
ArrayFunctionSet.ArrayFlatten	Implementation of the function array:flatten => item()*
ArrayFunctionSet.ArrayFoldLeft	Implementation of the function array:fold-left(array, item()*, function) => array
ArrayFunctionSet.ArrayFoldRight	Implementation of the function array:fold-left(array, item()*, function) => array
ArrayFunctionSet.ArrayForEach	Implementation of the function array:for-each(array, function) => array
ArrayFunctionSet.ArrayForEachPair	Implementation of the function array:for-each-pair(array, array, function) => array
ArrayFunctionSet.ArrayFromSequence	Implementation of the function array:_from-sequence(item()*) => array(*) which is used internally for the implementation of array{} and of the saxon:array extension
ArrayFunctionSet.ArrayGet	Implementation of the function array:get(array, xs:integer) => item()*
ArrayFunctionSet.ArrayHead	Implementation of the function array:head(array) => item()*
ArrayFunctionSet.ArrayInsertBefore	Implementation of the function array:insert-before(array, xs:integer, item()*) => array
ArrayFunctionSet.ArrayJoin	Implementation of the function array:join(arrays) => array
ArrayFunctionSet.ArrayPut	Implementation of the function array:put(arrays, index, newValue) => array
ArrayFunctionSet.ArrayRemove	Implementation of the function array:remove(array, xs:integer) => array
ArrayFunctionSet.ArrayReverse	Implementation of the function array:reverse(array, xs:integer, xs:integer) => array
ArrayFunctionSet.ArraySize	Implementation of the function array:size(array) => integer
ArrayFunctionSet.ArraySubarray	Implementation of the function array:subarray(array, xs:integer, xs:integer) => array
ArrayFunctionSet.ArrayTail	Implementation of the function array:tail(array) => item()*
ArrayFunctionSet.ArrayToSequence	Implementation of the 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
ImmutableArrayItem	Implementation of ArrayItem backed by a persistent immutable array, so that operations that "update" the array do not have to copy the whole 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..
