public interface SourceResolver
This interface defines a SourceResolver. A SourceResolver can be registered as
part of the Configuration, and enables new kinds of Source to be recognized
beyond those that are natively recognized by Saxon.
The task of the SourceResolver is to take any Source as input, and to return
an ActiveSource
that knows how to deliver itself to a Receiver
.
This allows new kinds of Source to be introduced, provided they implement the
ActiveSource
interface.

ActiveSource
