Constructor Detail

### NormalizeSpace

    public NormalizeSpace()

Method Detail

### simplify

    public Expression simplify(StaticContext env)
                        throws XPathException

  Simplify and validate.

  Specified by:
    `simplify` in interface `Expression`
  Overrides:
    `simplify` in class `FunctionCall`
  Throws:
    `XPathException`

### getIntrinsicDependencies

    public int getIntrinsicDependencies()

  Determine the intrinsic dependencies of an expression, that is, those which are not derived from the dependencies of its subexpressions. For example, position() has an intrinsic dependency on the context position, while (position()+1) does not. The default implementation of the method returns 0, indicating "no dependencies".

  Overrides:
    `getIntrinsicDependencies` in class `ComputedExpression`
  Returns:
    a set of bit-significant flags identifying the "intrinsic" dependencies. The flags are documented in class net.sf.saxon.value.StaticProperty

### preEvaluate

    public Expression preEvaluate(StaticContext env)
                           throws XPathException

  Pre-evaluate a function at compile time. Functions that do not allow pre-evaluation, or that need access to context information, can override this method.

  Overrides:
    `preEvaluate` in class `FunctionCall`
  Throws:
    `XPathException`

### evaluateItem

    public Item evaluateItem(XPathContext c)
                      throws XPathException

  Evaluate in a general context

  Specified by:
    `evaluateItem` in interface `Expression`
  Overrides:
    `evaluateItem` in class `ComputedExpression`
  Parameters:
    `c` - The context in which the expression is to be evaluated
  Returns:
    the node or atomic value that results from evaluating the expression; or null to indicate that the result is an empty sequence
  Throws:
    `XPathException` - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression

### normalize

    public static java.lang.CharSequence normalize(java.lang.CharSequence s)

  The algorithm that does the work
