net.sf.saxon.jaxp
This package contains classes that provide Saxon's implementation of JAXP interfaces.
net.sf.saxon.lib
This package collects together interfaces intended for user applications to implement in order to customize Saxon's behavior, default implementations of these interfaces, and classes containing constants that are used in public Saxon interfaces.
net.sf.saxon.ma
This package contains classes associated with the implementation of maps, arrays, and JSON for XSLT 3.0 and XPath 3.1.
net.sf.saxon.ma.arrays
This package implements arrays, as introduced in XPath/XQuery 3.1: arrays provide a list-like data structure that (unlike sequences) allows nesting.
net.sf.saxon.ma.json
This package implements support for JSON: it includes classes that implement the XPath 3.1 functions for JSON, and underlying support code for parsing and serializating JSON.
net.sf.saxon.ma.map
This package implements maps, as introduced in XSLT 3.0 and XQuery 3.1: maps provide a dictionary-like data structure.
net.sf.saxon.ma.parray
This package contains an implementation of persistent immutable arrays.
net.sf.saxon.ma.trie
This package contains a general-purpose implementation of immutable hash trie maps, used to underpin the Saxon implementation of XSLT 3.0 maps.
net.sf.saxon.om
This package defines the interface to the Saxon tree structure.
net.sf.saxon.option.dom4j
This package provides glue classes that enable Saxon to process a source document supplied as a DOM4J tree (see https://dom4j.github.io).
net.sf.saxon.option.exslt
This package provides implementations of the functions defined in EXSLT.
net.sf.saxon.option.jdom2
This package contains classes that interface Saxon to the JDOM2 tree model.
net.sf.saxon.option.local
This package contains classes responsible for localizing the output of functions such as format-dateTime and format-integer into various languages.
net.sf.saxon.option.xom
This package provides glue classes that enable Saxon to process a source document supplied as a XOM tree (see http://www.cafeconleche.org/XOM).
net.sf.saxon.pattern
This package provides classes associated with XSLT pattern handling.
net.sf.saxon.pull
This package provides classes that interface Saxon to an XML parser that supplies data in the form of a stream of events.
net.sf.saxon.query
This package provides a relatively low-level API for executing XQuery queries directly from a Java application.
net.sf.saxon.regex
This package contains the code to map XML Schema and XPath regular expressions to a regular expression engine of the underlying Java platform.
net.sf.saxon.regex.charclass
This package contains Java classes used to represent character classes in regular expressions.
net.sf.saxon.resource
This package contains Java classes used to represent abstractions of resources of different kinds that can be retrieved as part of a collection (using the fn:collection() function).
net.sf.saxon.s9api
This package provides Saxon's preferred Java API for XSLT, XQuery, XPath, and XML Schema processing.
net.sf.saxon.s9api.streams
This package (introduced in Saxon 9.9) provides methods to manipulate XDM values using Java 8 streams.
net.sf.saxon.sapling
This package defines a public API for constructing trees; it represents trees-under-construction using a lightweight immutable data structure called a sapling; once construction of a sapling tree is complete, it can be copied to form a fully-functional XDM tree in the form of an XdmNode or NodeInfo object.
net.sf.saxon.serialize
This package contains code for serializing trees using the standard W3C-defined serialization methods (xml, html, text, etc).
net.sf.saxon.serialize.charcode
This package provides classes for handling different character sets, especially when serializing the output of a query or transformation.
net.sf.saxon.serialize.codenorm
This package contains the code to implement Unicode normalization.
net.sf.saxon.stax
This package contains classes used to connect to StAX (pull-parser) events for input and output.
net.sf.saxon.style
This package provides classes used during the compilation of an XSLT stylesheet.
net.sf.saxon.sxpath
This package originally provided an alternative API for executing XPath expressions directly from a Java application.
net.sf.saxon.trace
This package provides an interface to Saxon tracing and debugging capabilities.
net.sf.saxon.trans

net.sf.saxon.trans.rules
This package provides classes to implement matching of patterns for selection of template rules within a mode.
net.sf.saxon.tree
This package contains subpackages containing the code for different tree models.
net.sf.saxon.tree.iter
This package defines implementations and subinterfaces of the interface SequenceIterator, which is used to iterate over an XDM sequence.
net.sf.saxon.tree.jiter
This package defines utility classes designed to work with Java iterators, that is, implementations of java.util.Iterator (not to be confused with Saxon's SequenceIterator class).
net.sf.saxon.tree.linked
This package defines the implementation of the so-called "linked tree" structure.
net.sf.saxon.tree.tiny
This package is an implementation of the Saxon internal tree structure, designed to minimize memory usage, and the costs of allocating and garbage-collecting Java objects.
net.sf.saxon.tree.util
This package defines a number of utility and helper classes for implementing tree models.
net.sf.saxon.tree.wrapper
This package defines a number of implementations of "virtual nodes" implemented as wrappers around other nodes.
net.sf.saxon.type
This package contains classes that implement the XPath 2.0 and 3.1 type system.
net.sf.saxon.value
This package provides classes representing XPath values (that is, the results of an expression).
net.sf.saxon.xpath
This package is Saxon's implementation of the JAXP API designed for executing XPath 1.0 expressions directly from a Java application.
net.sf.saxon.z
This package provides utility routines for handling integer sets and maps.
