EXPath Archive Module

Saxon availability

Available whether or not support for XPath 3.0 is enabled. Implemented since Saxon 9.6. Requires Saxon-PE or Saxon-EE. Available for Java and C/C++ only (not .NET).

Notes on the Saxon implementation

The specification is not finalised regarding using element and attribute options to control archive manipulation. If you are using XPath 3.0+, then we suggest using the map-based equivalent function arch:options-map(), which is much more likely to be stable.
