Description

Interface Summary
OutputURIResolver: This interface defines an OutputURIResolver.

Class Summary
AugmentedSource: This class wraps a JAXP Source object to provide an extended Source object that contains options indicating how the Source should be processed: for example, whether or not it should be validated against a schema.
Compile: This Compile class provides a command-line interface allowing a stylesheet to be compiled.
Configuration: This class holds details of user-selected configuration options for a transformation or query
Controller: Controller processes an XML file, calling registered node handlers when appropriate to process its elements, character content, and attributes.
Err: Class containing utility methods for handling error messages
FeatureKeys: FeatureKeys defines a set of constants, names of Saxon configuration options which can be supplied to the TransformerFactoryImpl interface
Filter: Filter is an XMLFilter (a SAX2 filter) that performs a transformation taking a SAX stream as input and producing a SAX stream as output.
IdentityTransformerHandler: IdentityTransformerHandler implements the javax.xml.transform.sax.TransformerHandler interface.
IDFilter: IDFilter is a SAX filter that extracts the subtree of a document rooted at the element with a given ID value.
Loader: Loader is used to load a class given its name.
ParameterSet: A ParameterSet is a set of parameters supplied when calling a template.
PreparedStylesheet: This PreparedStylesheet class represents a Stylesheet that has been prepared for execution (or "compiled").
Query: This Query class provides a command-line interface to the Saxon XQuery processor.
StandardErrorHandler
StandardErrorListener: StandardErrorListener is the standard error handler for XSLT processing errors, used if no other ErrorListener is nominated.
StandardURIResolver: This class provides the service of converting a URI into an InputSource.
TemplatesHandlerImpl: TemplatesHandlerImpl implements the javax.xml.transform.sax.TemplatesHandler interface.
Transform: This Transform class is the entry point to the Saxon XSLT Processor.
TransformerFactoryImpl: A TransformerFactoryImpl instance can be used to create Transformer and Template objects.
TransformerHandlerImpl: TransformerHandlerImpl implements the javax.xml.transform.sax.TransformerHandler interface.
Version: The Version class holds the SAXON version information.

## Package net.sf.saxon Description

This package provides the core classes of the SAXON XSLT library.

Some of the more important classes are listed below:

Transform:
This is the XSLT processor. It has a command-line interface allowing you to apply a given style sheet to a given source document.

PreparedStylesheet:
This represents a compiled XSLT stylesheet in memory. It is Saxon's implementation of the `javax.xml.transform.Templates` interface defined in JAXP 1.1

Controller:
This class represents the context information for a single execution of an XSLT stylesheet, and allows the application to process the tree navigationally. It is Saxon's implementation of the javax.xml.transform.Transformer interface defined in JAXP 1.1. It calls user-supplied handlers registered with the RuleManager. If you want to write your own Java application to process a document navigationally, you can write it as a subclass of Controller, or you can instantiate Controller directly.
