XPath 4.0 Functions and Operators

Saxon availability

Available in XPath 4.0, XSLT 4.0, and XQuery 4.0, provided that 4.0 features are enabled (see Enabling 4.0 features). Requires Saxon-PE or Saxon-EE. Implemented since Saxon 13. Available for all platforms.

Notes on the Saxon implementation

The 4.0 specification states that the limits on precision are implementation-defined. Saxon requires the precision to be in the range -100 to +100; a requested precision outside this range is adjusted to -100 or +100 as appropriate.
