Package overview for net.sf.saxon.sxpath

This package originally provided an alternative API for executing XPath expressions directly from a Java application. It is no longer recommended for application use, but is still used internally to underpin the public JAXP and s9api APIs.

The preferred API for executing XPath expressions in Saxon is the `s9api` package. This package is older, and provides a lower-level interface that offers access to more internal details, but is not so convenient to use.
