All Implemented Interfaces:

GroundedValue, Item, Sequence, AnyExternalObject

public class Parcel
extends ObjectValue<GroundedValue>

A Parcel is a way of wrapping an arbitrary sequence as a single item. It is implemented as a Java extension object. It is used in particular to wrap the context value when this is not a single item: this is to avoid disruption to the large amount of Saxon code that is written to assume the context value will be a single item (which it is most of the time).
