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. Implemented experimentally since Saxon 12. Available for all platforms.

Notes on the Saxon implementation

Available since Saxon 13 in XPath 4.0. An earlier one-argument version of the function was available since Saxon 12.0 provided that syntax extensions are enabled.

In SaxonJ this is implemented using validator.nu; in SaxonCS the implementation uses AngleSharp.
