the function name, or null for an anonymous inline function

getDescription

default String getDescription()

Specified by:

getDescription in interface Function

Returns:

a description of the function for use in error messages

getArity

default int getArity()

Get the arity of the function

Specified by:

getArity in interface Function

Returns:

the number of arguments in the function signature

makeNewContext

default XPathContext makeNewContext(XPathContext callingContext,
                                    ContextOriginator originator)

Prepare an XPathContext object for evaluating the function

Specified by:

makeNewContext in interface Function

Parameters:

callingContext - the XPathContext of the function calling expression

originator -

Returns:

a suitable context for evaluating the function (which may or may not be the same as the caller's context)

call

default Sequence<?> call(XPathContext context,
                         Sequence[] args)
                  throws XPathException

Invoke the function

Specified by:

call in interface Callable

Specified by:

call in interface Function

Parameters:

context - the XPath dynamic evaluation context

args - the actual arguments to be supplied

Returns:

the result of invoking the function

Throws:

XPathException - if an error occurs evaluating the supplied argument

getStringValue

default String getStringValue()

Get the value of the item as a string. For nodes, this is the string value of the node as defined in the XPath 2.0 data model, except that all nodes are treated as being untyped: it is not an error to get the string value of a node with a complex type. For atomic values, the method returns the result of casting the atomic value to a string.

If the calling code can handle any CharSequence, the method getStringValueCS() should be used. If the caller requires a string, this method is preferred.

Specified by:

getStringValue in interface GroundedValue<Function>

Specified by:

getStringValue in interface Item<Function>

Returns:

the string value of the item

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - if the item is a function item (an unchecked exception is used here to avoid introducing exception handling to a large number of paths where it is not needed)

Since:

8.4

See Also:

getStringValueCS()

getStringValueCS

default CharSequence getStringValueCS()

Get the string value of the item as a CharSequence. This is in some cases more efficient than the version of the method that returns a String. The method satisfies the rule that X.getStringValueCS().toString() returns a string that is equal to X.getStringValue().

Note that two CharSequence values of different types should not be compared using equals(), and for the same reason they should not be used as a key in a hash table.

If the calling code can handle any CharSequence, this method should be used. If the caller requires a string, the getStringValue() method is preferred.

Specified by:

getStringValueCS in interface GroundedValue<Function>

Specified by:

getStringValueCS in interface Item<Function>

Returns:

the string value of the item

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - if the item is a function item (an unchecked exception is used here to avoid introducing exception handling to a large number of paths where it is not needed)

Since:

8.4

See Also:

getStringValue()

getTypedValue

default SequenceIterator getTypedValue()
                                throws XPathException

Get the typed value of the item.

For a node, this is the typed value as defined in the XPath 2.0 data model. Since a node may have a list-valued data type, the typed value is in general a sequence, and it is returned in the form of a SequenceIterator.

If the node has not been validated against a schema, the typed value will be the same as the string value, either as an instance of xs:string or as an instance of xs:untypedAtomic, depending on the node kind.

For an atomic value, this method returns an iterator over a singleton sequence containing the atomic value itself.

Returns:

an iterator over the items in the typed value of the node or atomic value. The items returned by this iterator will always be atomic values.

Throws:

XPathException - where no typed value is available, for example in the case of an element with complex content

Since:

8.4

deepEquals

default boolean deepEquals(Function other,
                           XPathContext context,

                           int flags)

context - the dynamic evaluation context

comparer - the object to perform the comparison

flags - options for how the comparison is performed

true if the two function items are deep-equal

Throws:

itemAt

default MapItem itemAt(int n)

Description copied from interface: Item

Specified by:

itemAt in interface GroundedValue<Function>

Specified by:

itemAt in interface Item<Function>

the n'th item if it exists, or null otherwise

                               throws XPathException

Description copied from interface: GroundedValue

Get the effective boolean value of this sequence

Specified by:
