Package net.sf.saxon.s9api.streams

package net.sf.saxon.s9api.streams

This package provides methods to manipulate XDM values using Java 8 streams. It provides an alternative to XPath navigation of XDM trees, avoiding the high parsing cost and poor compile-time diagnostics of XPath expressions, while being a much higher-level interface than DOM-style navigation from node to node.
