| </p> |
| <h3>Public interfaces</h3> |
| <p>A public interface of Xalan-Java 2 is an API that a typical client developer |
| should code against. Such interfaces are usually based upon |
| World-Wide Web Consortium (W3C) recommendations, such as XSLT 1.0 and |
| XPath 1.0, or Java Specification Requests (JSR's) with a status of |
| "Final Release", such as JAXP.</p> |
| <p>The Xalan-Java 2 team will support use of public interfaces, and will |
| attempt to fix severe bugs in such interfaces.</p> |
| <p>A particular version of a public interface will be supported for all |
| the maintenance drops of a particular version and release of Xalan-Java 2 |
| (that is, for a release that changes just the third digit of the |
| version number). At the point a new version of Xalan-Java 2 is made |
| available, (that is, a release that changes the first or second digit |
| of the version number) such interfaces could change to reflect the |
| latest standard specifications.</p> |
| <p>The public interfaces of Xalan-Java 2 are:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| <a href="http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/">JAXP 1.3</a> |
| interfaces found in the |
| <a href="apidocs/javax/xml/parsers/package-summary.html"> |
| <code>javax.xml.parsers</code> |
| </a>, |
| <a href="apidocs/javax/xml/transform/package-summary.html"> |
| <code>javax.xml.transform</code> |
| </a>, |
| <a href="apidocs/org/xml/sax/package-summary.html"> |
| <code>org.xml.sax</code> |
| </a>, |
| <a href="apidocs/org/w3c/dom/package-summary.html"> |
| <code>org.w3c.dom</code> |
| </a> and |
| <a href="apidocs/javax/xml/xpath/package-summary.html"> |
| <code>javax.xml.xpath</code> |
| </a> packages. </li> |
| <li>The Xalan-Java 2 specific XPath API, defined by the classes |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| <a href="apidocs/org/apache/xpath/XPathAPI.html"> |
| <code>org.apache.xpath.XPathAPI</code> |
| </a> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <a href="apidocs/org/apache/xpath/CachedXPathAPI.html"> |
| <code>org.apache.xpath.CachedXPathAPI</code> |
| </a> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| <li>API's for using, configuring or defining a serializer, from the |
| <code>org.apache.xml.serializer</code> package: |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| <a href="apidocs/org/apache/xml/serializer/OutputPropertiesFactory.html"> |
| <code>OutputPropertiesFactory</code> |
| </a> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <a href="apidocs/org/apache/xml/serializer/SerializerFactory.html"> |
| <code>SerializerFactory</code> |
| </a> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <a href="apidocs/org/apache/xml/serializer/Serializer.html"> |
| <code>Serializer</code> |
| </a> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| <li>Properties files for configuring a serializer. (See |
| <a href="usagepatterns.html#outputprops">Setting output |
| properties in your stylesheets</a> for more information.) |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| <code>org/apache/xml/serializer/output_xml.properties</code> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <code>org/apache/xml/serializer/output_html.properties</code> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <code>org/apache/xml/serializer/output_text.properties</code> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| <li>Command-line interfaces for performing transformations: |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| <a href="commandline.html">Xalan-Java Command-line utility</a> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <a href="xsltc_usage.html#compile">Compiling translets |

| </ul> |
| <a name="experimental"></a> |
| <p align="right" size="2"> |
| <a href="#content">(top)</a> |
| </p> |
| <h3>Experimental interfaces</h3> |
| <p>Interfaces and classes that are designated experimental reflect recent |
| World-Wide Web Consortium (W3C) draft recommendations or draft |
| Java Specification Requests (JSR's). Such an API is based upon |
| a specification that is subject to change, and so is itself subject |
| to change as the relevant standards body makes changes to the |
| specification.</p> |
| <p>If and when the specification upon which the API is based reaches its |
| final published form, the API could become a Public interface in |
| a subsequent release of Xalan-Java 2, although the Xalan-Java 2 team could |
| decide to simply withdraw the API, if it decided that making the API |
| a public interface would not be appropriate.</p> |
| <p>As the name suggests, experimental interfaces are provided in order to |
| give users the opportunity to experiment with new features so that they |
| can provide feed-back on those features. They should not be used in |
| production-level code. The Xalan-Java 2 team may fix severe bugs in |
| experimental interfaces.</p> |
| <p>The experimental interfaces of Xalan-Java 2 are:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>The |
| <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/NOTE-DOM-Level-3-XPath-20040226"> |
| DOM Level 3 XPath API</a> found in the |
| <a href="apidocs/org/apache/xpath/domapi/package-summary.html"> |
| <code>org.apache.xpath.domapi</code> |
| </a> package.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <a name="internal"></a> |
| <p align="right" size="2"> |
| <a href="#content">(top)</a> |
| </p> |
| <h3>Internal interfaces</h3> |
| <p>All other classes are considered to be part of the internal interface of |
| Xalan-Java 2. Some such classes or members of such classes may themselves |
| be designated as <code>public</code> using the Java keyword, but that is |
| a consequence of the internal organization of Xalan-Java 2.</p> |
| <p>Users who have complex and specific needs, such as the need to build |
| their own XSLT or XPath processors, might use these internal interfaces, |
| but their use is not supported. In addition these interfaces are subject |
| to change without notice.</p> |
