Evaluator.LazySequence

java.lang.Object
- net.sf.saxon.expr.parser.Evaluator
- - net.sf.saxon.expr.parser.Evaluator.LazySequence

Enclosing class:

Evaluator
```
public static final class Evaluator.LazySequence
extends Evaluator
```
An evaluator for arguments that in general return a sequence, where the sequence is evaluated lazily on first use. This is appropriate when calling a function which might not use the value, or might not use all of it. It returns a LazySequence, which can only be read once, so this is only suitable for use when calling a function that can be trusted to read the argument once only.
