Package net.sf.saxon.trace Description

This package provides an interface to Saxon tracing capabilities.

The package was created by Edwin Glaser, and is intended primarily to provide an interface to an external trace and debugging package which will be developed independently. It also includes a simple trace capability which can be switched on from the command line, the API, or the stylesheet itself.
