SaxonC

This documentation details the C++ API and C API for all editions (HE, PE and EE) of SaxonC 13.

SaxonC is a compiled variant of Saxon from the Java platform to the C/C++ platform using GraalVM Native Image, with APIs for C/C++, PHP, and Python.

SaxonC provides processing in XSLT 3.0, XQuery 3.1 and XPath 3.1; and Schema validation 1.0/1.1 with SaxonC-EE. SaxonC-EE and SaxonC-PE also include support for many features in the XPath, XQuery, and XSLT 4.0 specifications currently in development in the QT4 Community Group.
