XProc -[[3.0]]- +[[3.1]]+: Standard Step Library

1. Introduction

This specification describes the standard, required atomic XProc steps. A machine-readable description of these steps may be found in steps.xpl.

Many atomic steps are available for [XProc 3.0XProc 3.1XProc 3.03.1]. They are described in several specifications. This specification describes the general background common to all steps. A conformant processor must implement all of the steps in this specification. Additional steps may also be implemented.

The types given for options should be understood as follows:

Types in the XML Schema namespace, identified as QNames with the xs: prefix, as per the XML Schema specification with one exception. Anywhere an xs:QName is specified, an EQName is allowed.
XPathExpression: As a string per [W3C XML Schema: Part 2], including whitespace normalization, and the further requirement to be a conformant Expression per [XPath 3.1].
XSLTSelectionPattern: As a string per [XSLT 3.0] conforming to an XSLT selection pattern.
XPathSequenceType: An XPath sequence type.
ContentType: A media type as defined in [RFC 2046].
ContentTypes: As a whitespace separated list of media types as defined in [RFC 2046].

Option values are often expressed using the shortcut syntax. In these cases, the option shortcuts are generally treated as value templates. However, for options of type map() or array(), an expression is required (there is no non-expression string which can ever be a legal value for a map or array). Given that every value entered this way will have to be a value template, and consequently every curly brace contained within the expression will have to be escaped, values of type map or array are defined to be expressions directly.

Some aspects of documents are generally unchanged by steps:

When a step in this library produces an output document, the base URI of the output is the base URI of the step's primary input document unless the step's process explicitly sets an xml:base attribute or the step's description explicitly states how the base URI is constructed.
Steps are responsible for describing how document properties are transformed as documents flow through them. Many steps claim that the specified properties are preserved. Generally, it is the responsibility of the pipeline author to determine when this is inapropriate and take corrective action. However, it is the responsibility of the pipeline processor to assure that the content-type property is correct. If a step transforms a document in a manner that is inconsistent with the content-type property (accepting an XML document on the source port but producing a text document on the result, for example), the processor must assure that the content-type property is appropriate. If a step changes the content-type in this way, it must also remove the serialization property

Also, in this specification, several steps use this element for result information:

<c:result> string </c:result>

When a step uses an XPath to compute an option value, the XPath context is as defined in [XProc 3.0XProc 3.1XProc 3.03.1].

When a step specifies a particular version of a technology, implementations must implement that version or a subsequent version that is backwards compatible with that version. At user-option, they may implement other non-backwards compatible versions.

In this specification the words must, must not, should, should not, may and recommended are to be interpreted as described in [RFC 2119].

As described in PSVIs in XProc in XProc 3.0: An XML Pipeline Language, steps may not produce PSVI output unless that behavior is explicitly described. In this specification, the steps that may produce PSVI output are the “identity” steps: p:identity, p:store, and p:split-sequence (which must preserve PSVI properties that appear on their inputs). In addition, the p:xslt and p:xquery steps may return documents with PSVI annotations.

2. The required steps

2. Step library

A conformant processor must support all of these steps.

2.1. p:add-attribute

The p:add-attribute step adds a single attribute to a set of matching elements. The input document specified on the source is processed for matches specified by the selection pattern in the match option. For each of these matches, the attribute whose name is specified by the attribute-name option is set to the attribute value specified by the attribute-value option. The p:add-attribute step adds a single attribute to a set of matching elements. The input document specified on the source is processed for matches specified by the selection pattern in the match option. For each of these matches, the attribute whose name is specified by the attribute-name option is set to the attribute value specified by the attribute-value option.

The resulting document is produced on the result output port and consists of a exact copy of the input with the exception of the matched elements. Each of the matched elements is copied to the output with the addition of the specified attribute with the specified value.

The p:archive step can perform several different operations on archives. The most common one will likely be creating an archive, but it could also, depending on the archive format, provide services like update, freshen or even merge. The only format implementations must support is [ZIP]. The list of formats supported by the p:archive step is implementation-defined.

The p:archive step has the following input ports:

sourcesourcesource

The (primary) source port is used to provide documents to be archived (for instance constructed by other steps). How and which of these documents are processed is governed by the document(s) appearing on the other input ports and the combination of options and parameters. See below for details. It is a dynamic error () if two or more documents appear on the p:archive step's source port that have the same base URI or if any document that appears on the source port has no base URI.The (primary) source port is used to provide documents to be archived (for instance constructed by other steps).

relative-torelative-torelative-to: The relative-to option is used in creating a manifest when no manifest is provided on the manifest port. If a manifest is present this option is not used. If the option’s value is a relative URI, it is made absolute against the base URI of the element on which it is specified (p:with-option or the step in case of a syntactic shortcut value).

It is implementation-defined how the step determines the archive's format. Implementations should recognize archives in [] format.

2.3.1. The archive manifest

An archive manifest specifies which documents will be considered in processing the archive. Every entry in the archive must have a corresponding entry in the manifest; if no such entry is provided, one will be constructed automatically (see below). If manifest entries are provided for documents that are not in the archive, how those are processed depends on the archive type and the parameters passed to the step.

A manifest is represented by a c:archive root element:

<c:archive> (c:entry* & anyNonXProcElement*) </c:archive>

The c:archive root element may contain additional implementation-defined attributes.

All entries in the archive must be present as c:entry child elements:

<c:entry name = string href = anyURI comment? = string method? = string level? = string content-type? = ContentType> anyElement* </c:entry>

The name attribute specifies the name of the entry in the archive.
The href attribute must be a valid URI according to [RFC 3986]. If its value is relative, it is made absolute against the base URI of the manifest. There are two possible cases:
- If the (absolute) href value is exactly the same as the base URI of a document appearing on the source port, that document is associated with this entry. If this entry is to be added to the archive, the associated document will be used. (The serialization document property can be used to provide serialization properties.) If the (absolute) href value is exactly the same as the base URI of a document appearing on the source port, that document is associated with this entry. If this entry is to be added to the archive, the associated document will be used. (The serialization document property can be used to provide serialization properties.)
- If no document on the source port has a base URI that is exactly the same as the (absolute) href value, the document at the specified URI is associated with this entry. These documents are stored in the archive “as is”; they must not be parsed and re-serialized.If no document on the source port has a base URI that is exactly the same as the (absolute) href value, the document at the specified URI is associated with this entry. These documents are stored in the archive “as is”; they must not be parsed and re-serialized.
The comment attribute specifies a comment associated with the entry. If the archive format does not support per-entry comments, the value of this attribute is ignored. If the format imposes constraints on the archive comment (character set or length, for example), how the processor coerces the attribute value to satisfy those constraints is implementation-dependent.
The comment attribute specifies a comment associated with the entry. If the archive format does not support per-entry comments, the value of this attribute is ignored. If the format imposes constraints on the archive comment (character set or length, for example), how the processor coerces the attribute value to satisfy those constraints is implementation-dependent.
The method attribute specifies how the entry should be compressed. The default compression method is implementation-defined. Implementations must support no compression, specified with the value none. It is implementation-defined what other compression methods are supported.
The level attribute specifies the level of compression. The default compression methodlevel is implementation-defined. It is implementation-defined what compression levels are supported.
The content-type attribute specifies the content-type of the entry as detected by the processor. It will be set by p:archive-manifest in constructing the manifest. It will be ignored by p:archive.

The p:archive step should strive to retain the order of the c:entry elements when constructing the archive. For instance, an e-book in EPUB format has a non-compressed entry that must be first in the archive. It should be possible to construct such an archive using p:archive.

The c:entry elements may contain additional implementation-defined attributes.

If no manifest entry is provided for a document appearing on the source port, the step will create a manifest entry for the document. (If no document arrives on the manifest port at all, a complete manifest document will be created.)If no manifest entry is provided for a document appearing on the source port, the step will create a manifest entry for the document. (If no document arrives on the manifest port at all, a complete manifest document will be created.)

In a constructed manifest entry:

The entry’s href value is the base URI of the document.
The entry’s name value is derived from the base URI of the document and the relative-to option.The entry’s name value is derived from the base URI of the document and the relative-to option.
- First, the value of the relative-to option is made absolute. If the initial substring of the base URI is exactly the same as the resulting absolute value, then the name is the portion of the base URI that follows that initial substring. First, the value of the relative-to option is made absolute. If the initial substring of the base URI is exactly the same as the resulting absolute value, then the name is the portion of the base URI that follows that initial substring.
- If there is no relative-to option or if its value is not the initial substring of the base URI of the document, the name is the path portion of the URI (per []). If the path portion begins with an initial slash, that slash is removed. If there is no relative-to option or if its value is not the initial substring of the base URI of the document, the name is the path portion of the URI (per []). If the path portion begins with an initial slash, that slash is removed.

It is a dynamic error () if an archive manifest is invalid according to the specification.It is a dynamic error () if an archive manifest is invalid according to the specification.

2.3.2. Handling of ZIP archives

The format of the archive can be specified using the format option. Implementations must support the [] format, specified with the value zip. The format of the archive can be specified using the format option. Implementations must support the [] format, specified with the value zip.

When ZIP archives are processed, every name in the manifest must be a relative path without a leading slash.

The parameters option can be used to supply parameters to control the archiving. For the zip format, the following parameters must be supported:The parameters option can be used to supply parameters to control the archiving. For the zip format, the following parameters must be supported:

command

Specifies what operation to perform. If not specified, its default value is update. Implementations must support the values update, create, freshen, and delete. The p:archive step may support additional, implementation-defined commands for ZIP files. Unless otherwise specified, exactly zero or one ZIP archive can appear on the archive port for the commands described below. If no archive appears, a new archive will be created. Specifies what operation to perform. If not specified, its default value is update. Implementations must support the values update, create, freshen, and delete. The p:archive step may support additional, implementation-defined commands for ZIP files. Unless otherwise specified, exactly zero or one ZIP archive can appear on the archive port for the commands described below. If no archive appears, a new archive will be created.

update

When the command parameter is set to update, the ZIP archive will be updated:

For every entry in the ZIP file:
- If the manifest contains a c:entry with a matching name, the entry in the ZIP file is updated with the document identified by the c:entry in the manifest.
- If the manifest does not contain a matching c:entry, the ZIP entry name is resolved against the base URI of the ZIP file.
  - If a document exists at that URI and either has no timestamp or has a timestamp more than the timestamp in the ZIP file, the entry in the ZIP file will be updated with the document at the resolved URI.
  - If no document exists at that URI, or the document cannot be accessed, or the document has a timestamp and the timestamp in the ZIP archive is more recent than the timestamp of the document, then the ZIP entry is unchanged.
For every c:entry in the manifest that does not have a matching entry in the ZIP file, the ZIP file will be updated by adding the document identified by the c:entry to the ZIP file.

create

When the command parameter is set to create, the ZIP archive will be created. Creating a ZIP archive behaves exactly like update except that any timestamps are ignored; every ZIP entry will be updated or created if there is a or matching document for it. The document must be obtained by dereferencing the URI in href. It is a dynamic error () if the resource referenced by the href option does not exist, cannot be accessed or is not a file.When the command parameter is set to create, the ZIP archive will be created.

The document must be obtained by dereferencing the URI in href. It is a dynamic error () if the resource referenced by the href option does not exist, cannot be accessed or is not a file.

freshen

When the command parameter is set to freshen, existing files in the ZIP archive may be updated, but no new files will be added. Freshing a ZIP archive behaves exactly like update except that only entries that already exist in the ZIP archive are considered.

If the manifest contains a c:entry with a matching name, the entry in the ZIP file is removed from the ZIP archive.

If the manifest contains c:entry elements which do not have a matching entry in the ZIP archive, they are simply ignored.

level

Specifies the default compression level for files added to or updated in the archive. If the level attribute is specified on a c:entry, its value takes precedence for that entry. Values that must be supported for ZIP files are: “smallest”, “fastest”, “default”, “huffman”, and “none”.

method

Specifies the default compression method for files added to or updated in the archive. If the method attribute is specified on a c:entry, its value takes precedence for that entry. Values that must be supported for ZIP files are: “none” and “deflated”.

It is a dynamic error () if the number of documents on the archive does not match the expected number of archive input documents for the given format and command.It is a dynamic error () if the number of documents on the archive does not match the expected number of archive input documents for the given format and command.

Implementations of other archive formats should use the same parameter names if applicable. The value spaces for these parameters may be format-specific though. The actual parameter names supported by p:archive for a particular format are implementation-defined.

Determining an archive entry's content-type is as follows:

The XPath regular expressions (the first members of the inner arrays) will be matched against the path of the entry in the archive. This will be done in the order of appearance in the outer array (so order is significant). The matching is done unanchored: it is a match if the regular expression matches part of the entry's path. Informally: matching behaves like applying the XPath matches#2 function, like in matches($path-in-archive, $regular-expression).
Note
Depending on how archives are constructed, the path of an entry in an archive can be with or without a leading slash. Usually it will be without. For archives constructed by p:archive no leading slash will be present.
If a match is found, the content-type (the second member of the inner array for which the match was found) is used as the entry's content-type.
If no match was found for all inner arrays, the normal (implementation-defined) mechanism for determining the content-type is used.

For example: setting the override-content-types option to [ ['.rels$', 'application/xml'], ['^special/', 'application/octet-stream'] ] means that all files ending with .rels will get the content-type application/xml. All files in the archive's special directory (including sub-directories) will get the content-type application/octet-stream.For example: setting the override-content-types option to [ ['.rels$', 'application/xml'], ['^special/', 'application/octet-stream'] ] means that all files ending with .rels will get the content-type application/xml.

Parameter sets

In XProc 3.1, maps are used for parameters. In XProc 1.0, no maps were available, so an XML vocabulary was defined. It is sometimes convenient to generate a map this way, so the vocabulary is retained.

A c:parameter-set is a wrapper around zero or more c:param elements.

<c:param-set> c:param* </c:param-set>

It is a dynamic error (err:XD0018) if the parameter list contains any elements other than c:param.

Any namespace-qualified attribute names that appear on the c:param-set element are ignored. It is a dynamic error (err:XD0014) for any unqualified attribute names to appear on a c:param-set element.

A c:param is a name/value pair with an optional namespace.

<c:param name = EQName namespace? = anyURI value? = string as? = XPathSequenceType> anyElement* </c:param>

The name attribute of the c:param must have the lexical form of a QName.

If the namespace attribute is specified, then the expanded name of the parameter is constructed from the specified namespace and the name value. It is a dynamic error (err:XD0025) if the namespace attribute is specified, the name contains a colon, and the specified namespace is not the same as the in-scope namespace binding for the specified prefix.

If the namespace attribute is not specified, and the name contains a colon, then the expanded name of the parameter is constructed using the name value and the namespace declarations in-scope on the c:param element.

If the namespace attribute is not specified, and the name does not contain a colon, then the expanded name of the parameter is in no namespace.

If the c:param element has a value attribute, the element must be empty. If it does not have a value attribute, the content of the element is the value. In either case, the type of the value may be specified with a sequence type in the as attribute. It is a dynamic error (err:XD0081) if the c:param element has a value attribute and is not empty. It is a dynamic error (err:XD0082) if the c:param specifies a sequence type and the value does not satisfy that type.

Document properties

All document properties are preserved, except for the content-type property which is updated accordingly and the serialization property which is removed.

2.8. p:count

The p:count step counts the number of documents in the source input sequence and returns a single document on result containing that number. The generated document contains a single c:result element whose contents is the string representation of the number of documents in the sequence.

<p:declare-steptype="p:count"> <p:inputport="source"content-types="any"sequence="true"/> <p:outputport="result"content-types="application/xml"/> <p:optionname="limit"as="xs:integer"select="0"/> </p:declare-step>

If the limit option is specified and is greater than zero, the p:count step will count at most that many documents. This provides a convenient mechanism to discover, for example, if a sequence consists of more than 1 document, without requiring every single document to be buffered before processing can continuecounted.

Document properties

2.10. p:error

The p:error step generates a dynamic error using the input provided to the step.

<p:declare-steptype="p:error"> <p:inputport="source"sequence="true"content-types="text xml"/> <p:outputport="result"sequence="true"content-types="any"/> <p:optionname="code"required="true"as="xs:QName"/> </p:declare-step>

This step uses the document provided on its input as the content of the error raised. An instance of the c:errors element will be produced on the error output port, as is always the case for dynamic errors. The error generated can be caught by a p:try just like any other dynamic error.

Summary

     <p:optionname="code"required="true"as="xs:QName"/>
</p:declare-step>

The p:error step always fails. It generates a single error with the error code specified in the code option. It also produces a c:errors document that will be visible on the error port inside a p:catch. (The error vocabulary is described in [XProc 3.1].)

This step should include the content of the document that appears on the source port in the error. If more than one document appears on the source port of the p:error step, all of the documents must be added to a single c:error element.

For authoring convenience, the p:error step is declared with a single, primary output port. With respect to connections, this port behaves like any other output port even though nothing can ever appear on it since the step always fails.

For example, given the following invocation:

<p:error xmlns:my="http://www.example.org/error" name="bad-document" code="my:unk12"> <p:with-input port="source"> <message>The document element is unknown.</message> </p:with-input> </p:error>

The error vocabulary element (and document)errors document generated on the error output port wouldmight be:

<c:errors xmlns:c="http://www.w3.org/ns/xproc-step" xmlns:p="http://www.w3.org/ns/xproc" xmlns:my="http://www.example.org/error"> <c:error name="bad-document" type="p:error" code="my:unk12"><message >The document element is unknown.</message> </c:error> </c:errors>

The href, line and column, or offset, might also be present on the c:error to identify the location of the p:error element in the pipeline.

The p:http-request step performs the HTTP request specified by the method option against the URI specified in the href option. In simple cases, for example, a GET request on an unauthenticated URI, nothing else is necessary to form a complete request. (Implementors are encouraged to support as many protocols as practical.

If the method, for example, POST, supports a body, the request body is constructed using the document(s) appearing on the source port. For the convenience of pipeline authors, documents may appear on the source port even when the request method (such as GET or HEAD) does not define the semantics of a payload.

Each map key is used as a header name and the value associated with that key in the map is used as the header value.

If a single document appears on the source port, then document properties on that document may be added as additional headers. For XML, HTML, and text documents with a serialization document property having an encoding key, a charset is appended to the created content-type header of the HTTP request. Properties in the http://www.w3.org/ns/xproc-http namespace will be added to the headers, using the local-name of the property QName as the header name. These properties are only copied if they are not specified in the header map. In other words, if the same header name appears in both places, the value from the map is used and the value from the document properties is ignored.

authauthauth

Many web services are only available to authenticated users, that is, to users who have “logged in”. The auth option allows the pipeline author to specify information that may be required to generate an “Authorization” header. The standard values support HTTP “Basic” and “Digest” authentication, but other authentication methods are allowed.Many web services are only available to authenticated users, that is, to users who have “logged in”. The auth option allows the pipeline author to specify information that may be required to generate an “Authorization” header. The standard values support HTTP “Basic” and “Digest” authentication, but other authentication methods are allowed.

The following standard keys are defined:

username (xs:string): The username.
password (xs:string): The password associated with the username.
auth-method (xs:string): The authentication method. Appropriate values for the “auth-method” key are “Basic” or “Digest” but other values are allowed. If the authentication method is “Basic” or “Digest”, authentication is handled as per [RFC 2617]. The interpretation of values associated with the “auth-method” key other than “Basic” or “Digest” is implementation -defined.
send-authorization (xs:boolean): The “send-authorization” key can be used to attempt to allow the request to avoid an authentication challenge. If the “send-authorization” key is “true()”, and the authentication method specified by the value associated with the “auth-method” key supports generation of an “Authorization” header without a challenge, then the header is generated and sent on the first request. If the “send-authorization” key is absent or does not have the value “true”, the first request is sent without an “Authorization” header.

Other key value pairs in map “auth” are implementation -defined.It is a dynamic error () if any key in the “auth” map is associated with a value that is not an instance of the required type.Other key value pairs in map “auth” are implementation -defined.It is a dynamic error () if any key in the “auth” map is associated with a value that is not an instance of the required type.

If the initial response to the request is an authentication challenge, the values provided in the auth map and any relevant data from the challenge are used to generate an “Authorization” header and the request is sent again. If that authorization fails, the request is not retried.

It is a dynamic error () if a “username” or a “password” key is present without specifying a value for the “auth-method” key, if the requested auth-method isn't supported, or the authentication challenge contains an authentication method that isn't supported. All implementations must support “Basic” and “Digest” authentication per [].It is a dynamic error () if a “username” or a “password” key is present without specifying a value for the “auth-method” key, if the requested auth-method isn't supported, or the authentication challenge contains an authentication method that isn't supported.

A number of parameters are defined in this specification. It is implementation -defined which other key/value pairs in the parameters option are supported.

override-content-type (xs:string): Ordinarily, the value of the content-type header provided in the server response controls the interpretation of any body in the response. If the “override-content-type” parameter is provided, then its value is used to interpret the body. The content-type header that appears on the report port is not changed. It is a dynamic error () if a supplied content-type is not a valid media type of the form “type/subtype+ext” or “type/subtype”. It is a dynamic error () if the response body cannot be interpreted as requested (e.g. application/json to override application/xml content).Ordinarily, the value of the content-type header provided in the server response controls the interpretation of any body in the response.

http-version (xs:string): The http-version parameter indicates which version of HTTP must be used for the request.
accept-multipart (xs:boolean): If the accept-multipart parameter is present and explicitly has the value false(), a dynamic error will be raised, if a multipart response is received from the server. This feature is a convenience for pipeline authors as it will raise an error when the multipart request is received, rather than having the presence of a sequence raise an error further along in the pipeline, or simply producing anomalous results. It is a dynamic error () if the key “accept-multipart” as the value false() and a multipart response is detected.If the accept-multipart parameter is present and explicitly has the value false(), a dynamic error will be raised, if a multipart response is received from the server.

It is a dynamic error () if the key “accept-multipart” as the value false() and a multipart response is detected.
override-content-encoding (xs:string): If the “override-content-encoding” parameter is present, the response will be treated as if the response contained a “content-encoding” header with the specified value. The content-encoding header that appears on the report port is not changed. It is a dynamic error () if the override content encoding cannot be supported.

The content-encoding header that appears on the report port is not changed. It is a dynamic error () if the override content encoding cannot be supported.
permit-expired-ssl-certificate (xs:boolean): If “permit-expired-ssl-certificate” is true, then the processor should not reject responses where the server provides an expired SSL certificate.
permit-untrusted-ssl-certificate (xs:boolean): If “permit-untrusted-ssl-certificate” is true, then the processor should not reject response where the server provides an SSL certificate which is not trusted, for example, because the certificate authority (CA) is unknown.
follow-redirect (xs:integer): The “follow-redirect” parameter allows the pipeline author to specify the step’s behaviour in the case of a redirect response. A value of 0 indicates that redirects are not to be followed, -1 indicates that redirects are to be followed indefinitely, and a specific number indicates the maximum number of redirects to follow. The default behaviour in case of a redirect response is implementation -defined.
timeout (xs:integer): If a “timeout” is specified, it must be a non-negative integer. It controls the time the XProc processor waits for the request to be answered. If a value is given, it is taken as the number of seconds to wait for the response to be delivered. If no response is received after that time, the request is terminated and a status-code 408 is assumed.
fail-on-timeout (xs:boolean): If “fail-on-timeout” is true, a dynamic error is raised if a 408 response is received (either as a consequence of setting a value for the “timeout” parameter or as status code returned by a server). It is a dynamic error () if the value associated with the “fail-on-timeout” is associated with true() and a HTTP status code 408 is encountered. If “fail-on-timeout” is true, it prevents any dynamic error with code C0126 resulting from the assert option to be raised for request's timeout.If “fail-on-timeout” is true, a dynamic error is raised if a 408 response is received (either as a consequence of setting a value for the “timeout” parameter or as status code returned by a server).

If “fail-on-timeout” is true, it prevents any dynamic error with code C0126 resulting from the assert option to be raised for request's timeout.
Note
Please note that the “fail-on-timeout” parameter is different from the “timeout” option on the p:http-request step (see Controlling long running steps in XProc 3.0: An XML Pipeline Language). If the step does not finish in the specified time, D0053 is raised. If the request does not finish in time, and fail-on-timeout is true, C0078 is raised. The actual times after which a timeout is detected may also differ slightly.
status-only (xs:boolean): If the “status-only” parameter is true, this indicates that the pipeline author is only interested in the response code. An empty sequence is always returned on the result port in this case. The implementation may save resources by ignoring the response body. The map on the report will contain the status code and an empty map for “headers”.If the “status-only” parameter is true, this indicates that the pipeline author is only interested in the response code.

The map on the report will contain the status code and an empty map for “headers”.
suppress-cookies (xs:boolean): If the “suppress-cookies” parameter is true, the implementation must not send any cookies with the request.
send-body-anyway (xs:boolean): If the “send-body-anyway” parameter is true, and one or more documents appear on the source port, a request body is constructed from the documents and sent with the request, even if the semantics of sending a body are not specified for the HTTP method in use. If the “send-body-anyway” parameter is true, and one or more documents appear on the source port, a request body is constructed from the documents and sent with the request, even if the semantics of sending a body are not specified for the HTTP method in use.

assert (xs:string)

The assert option can be used by pipeline authors to raise a dynamic error if the response does not fulfill the expectations of the receiver. The option's value (if present) is interpreted as an XPath expression which will be executed using the map that appears on the report port as its context item. If the effective boolean value of the expression is false(), a dynamic error is raised. It is a dynamic error () if the XPath expression in assert evaluates to false. Implementations should provide an XML representation of the map used as the context item with the error document to enable pipelines to access the error's cause.The assert option can be used by pipeline authors to raise a dynamic error if the response does not fulfill the expectations of the receiver.

2.13.1. Construction of a multipart request

If more than one document appears on the source port, or if the specified “content-type” header begins “multipart/”, a multipart request will be constructed, per []. The content type of the request is derived from the “content-type” header:If more than one document appears on the source port, or if the specified “content-type” header begins “multipart/”, a multipart request will be constructed, per []. The content type of the request is derived from the “content-type” header:

If the “content-type” header specifies a multipart content type, that value will be used as the content type. If the header includes a boundary parameter, that value will be used as the boundary. It is a dynamic error () if the specified boundary is not valid (for example, if it begins with two hyphens “--”). If the “content-type” header specifies a multipart content type, that value will be used as the content type. If the header includes a boundary parameter, that value will be used as the boundary. It is a dynamic error () if the specified boundary is not valid (for example, if it begins with two hyphens “--”).
If the “content-type” header is not specified, “multipart/mixed” will be used.
It is a dynamic error () if more than one document appears on the source port and a content-type header is present and the content type specified is not a multipart content type. It is a dynamic error () if more than one document appears on the source port and a content-type header is present and the content type specified is not a multipart content type.

A multipart request must have a boundary marker, if one isn’t specified in the content type, the implementation must construct one. It is implementation-defined how a multipart boundary is constructed. Implementations are not required to guarantee that the constructed value does not appear accidentally in the multipart data. If it does, the request will be malformed; pipeline authors must provide a boundary if they wish to assure that this cannot happen.

Each document in the sequence is serialized. If the document has a “serialization” document property, its values are used to determine how serialization is performed.

All of the document properties in the http://www.w3.org/ns/xproc-http namespace will be added as headers for the part, using the local-name of the property QName as the header name. In particular, this is how the “id”, “description”, “disposition” and other multipart headers can be provided.

2.13.2. Managing a multipart response

When a multipart response is received, each part is interpreted according to it’sits content type and a pipeline document is constructed. Any additional headers associated with the part are added to the document properties of the constructed document.

The multipart response is the resulting sequence of documents.

This step operates by generating attribute labels for each element matched. For every matched element, the expression is evaluated with the context node set to the matched element. An attribute is added to the matched element using the attribute name is specified the attribute option and the string value of result of evaluating the expression. If the attribute already exists on the matched element, the value is replaced with the string value only if the replace option has the value of true.This step operates by generating attribute labels for each element matched. For every matched element, the expression is evaluated with the context node set to the matched element. An attribute is added to the matched element using the attribute name is specified the attribute option and the string value of result of evaluating the expression. If the attribute already exists on the matched element, the value is replaced with the string value only if the replace option has the value of true.

If this step is used to add or change the value of an attribute named “xml:base”, the base URI of the element must also be amended accordingly.

An implementation must bind the variable “p:index” in the static context of each evaluation of the XPath expression to the position of the element in the sequence of matched elements. In other words, the first element (in document order) matched gets the value “1”, the second gets the value “2”, the third, “3”, etc.

The result of the p:label-elements step is the input document with the attribute labels associated with matched elements. All other non-matching content remains the same.

With respect to attributes named “xml:base”, the following semantics apply: renaming an from “xml:base” to something else has no effect on the underlying base URI of the element; however, if an attribute is renamed from something else to “xml:base”, the base URI of the element must also be amended accordingly.

If the pattern matches processing instructions, then it is the processing instruction target that is renamed. It is a dynamic error () if the pattern matches a processing instruction and the new name has a non-null namespace.

If the effective boolean value of the expression is true, the document is copied to the matched port; otherwise it is copied to the not-matched port.

If the initial-only option is true, then when the first document that does not satisfy the test expression is encountered, it and all the documents that follow it are written to the not-matched port.

All other documents are written to the not-matched port, irrespective of whether or not they match.

The XPath context for the test option changes over time. For each document that appears on the source port, the expression is evaluated with that document as the context document.

Note

In principle, this component cannot stream because it must buffer all of the input sequence in order to find the context size. In practice, if the test expression does not use the last() function, the implementation can stream and ignore the context size.

- If any exclude-filter pattern matches an archive entry's name, the entry is excluded in the output.If any exclude-filter pattern matches an archive entry's name, the entry is excluded in the output.
- If both options are provided, the include filter is processed first, then the exclude filter.
- Names of entries in archives are always relative names. For instance, the name of a file called xyz.xml in a specs subdirectory in an archive is called in full specs/xyz.xml (and not /specs/xyz.xml).
As a result: an item is included if it matches (at least) one of the include-filter values and none of the exclude-filter values.As a result: an item is included if it matches (at least) one of the include-filter values and none of the exclude-filter values.
The regular expressions specified in the include-filter and exclude-filter options will be matched against the path of the entry in the archive.

Non-element nodes and unmatched elements are passed through unchanged.

Note

The matching applies to the entire document, not just the “top-most” matches. A pattern of the form h:div will replace allh:div elements, not just the top-most ones.

This step produces a single document. Special cases:

If the document element is unwrapped, the result might not be well-formed XML.
For instance unwrapping the root element of <root-element/> will result in a document node with a single comment node child, which is not well-formed.
If a document consisting of only an empty root element is unwrapped, the result will be a document node without children. The result document’s content type will not change.
If a document consisting of a root element containing only text is unwrapped, the result will be a document node with a single text node child. The result document’s content type will become “text/plain”.

As specified in the core language specification: if the content type changes, the serialization document property, if present, will be removed.

The name of the document element is the value specified in the wrapper option.

The group-adjacent option can be used to group adjacent documents. The XPath context for the group-adjacent option changes over time. For each document that appears on the source port, the expression is evaluated with that document as the context document. The context position (position()) is the position of that document within the sequence and the context size (last()) is the total number of documents in the sequence. Whenever two or more sequentially adjacent documents have the same “group adjacent” value, they are wrapped together in a single wrapper element. Two “group adjacent” values are the same if the standard XPath function deep-equal() returns true for them.The group-adjacent option can be used to group adjacent documents.

That new element contains copies of all of the children of the original document node.

When the selection pattern does not match the document node, every node that matches the specified match pattern is replaced with a new element node whose QName is the value specified in the wrapper option. The content of that new element is a copy of the original, matching node. The p:wrap step performs a "deep" wrapping, the children of the matching node and their descendants are processed and wrappers are added to all matching nodes.

Document properties

No document properties are preserved. The base-uri property of each document will reflect the base URI specified by the tranformation. If the transformation does not establish a base URI, the document will not have one.

3. Step Errors

Several of the steps in the standard step library can generate dynamic errors.

A [Definition: A dynamic error is one which occurs while a pipeline is being evaluated.] Examples of dynamic errors include references to URIs that cannot be resolved, steps which fail, and pipelines that exhaust the capacity of an implementation (such as memory or disk space).

If a step fails due to a dynamic error, failure propagates upwards until either a p:try is encountered or the entire pipeline fails. In other words, outside of a p:try, step failure causes the entire pipeline to fail.

Dynamic errors raised by steps are divided into two categories: dynamic errors and step errors. The distinction is largely that “step errors” tend to be related to a particular step or small group of steps (e.g., validation error) whereas the “dynamic errors” apply to many more steps (e.g., URI not available). There is also precedent for some of the error codes dating back to XProc 1.0.

Conformant processors must implement all of the features described in this specification except those that are explicitly identified as optional.

Some aspects of processor behavior are not completely specified; those features are either implementation-dependent or implementation-defined.

F. Change Log

This appendix catalogs non-editorial changes made after the August 2020 “last call” draft:

Clarified that the manifest has precedence in the p:archive step. (issue 462.)
Changed the type of several options from xs:token to xs:string (issue 490.)
Changed the type of the parameters option from map(xs:string,xs:untypedAtomic+) to map(xs:string,xs:anyAtomicType+). (issue 491.)

These are the non-editorial changes made after the February 2020 “last call” draft:

For p:cast-content-type the expected result type for casting a c:param-set document to “application/json” was specified as map(xs:QName, xs:string). (2020-03-15)
In p:http-request, instead of using all document properties (with a few explicit exceptions) as headers, only document properties in the http://www.w3.org/ns/xproc-http namespace will be used. (2020-03-18)
Section 2.3.1, “The archive manifest”: An attribute c:entry/@content-type was added to the archive manifest, to be filled by the p:archive-manifest step. (2020-03-20)
A static-parameters was added to p:xslt. (2020-03-23)
The override-content-types option was added to p:archive-manifest and p:unarchive. (2020-03-30)
Clarified the regular expression matching for p:text-replace and p:unarchive. Added an error code for invalid regular expressions. (2020-04-02)
Replaced errors XC0070 and XC0130 with XD0079. (2020-04-09)
Changed signature of p:split-sequence so that any document can appear one port source. (2020-05-22)
Change the behavior of the global-context-item option of p:xslt. (2020-06-10)
Clarified which steps may produce PSVI annotations. (2020-06-09)
Clarified the behaviour in p:archive: A missing resource referenced by c:archive/c:entry/@href is only an error for command = 'create'. (2020-06-11)
Option populate-default-collection is added to the signature of p:xslt. (2020-06-20)
Clarified how the default content-type header of p:http-request is constructed if a single document appears on source port. (2020-06-20)
Added error (XD0079) to p:http-request and p:load for invalid content-types. (2020-06-23)
Changed signature of the result port of p:load to sequence="false" and adapted the prose accordingly. (2020-06-24)

This appendix summarizes the changes introduced in XProc 3.1.

F.1. Backwards incompatible changes

Resolved issue 549 by making the result output port on p:compare primary.
Although this change is technically backwards incompatible, all known implementations of XProc 3.0 implemented it this way, so it is unlikely that it will have any significant consequences.
Resolved issue 548 by correcting the Unicode collation URI in p:text-sort.
The value given in XProc 3.0 is incorrect and must be updated. To mitigate any consequences of this correction, implementations are encouraged to continue to recognize the incorrect value, perhaps with a warning.

F.1.1. Substantive changes

Resolved issue 587 by adding a parameters option to the p:uuid step.
Resolved issue 574 by adding a p:sleep step.
Resolved V.next issue 29 by allowing the text documents on the insertion port of the p:insert step. Resolved issue 583 by allowing text documents on the result port.

F.1.2. Editorial changes

Resolved issue 580 by clarifying what standards apply to the lang option on p:text-sort.
Resolved issue 566 by clarifying when a text document is produced from the p:hash, p:replace, p:string-replace, and p:uuid steps.
Resolved issue 563 by clarifying that p:set-attributes cannot add “namespace attributes” to an element.
Resolved issue 562 by clarifying that some parameters are defined for ZIP archives.
Resolved issue 561 and issue 564 by clarifying in the p:archive and p:archive-manifest steps that err:XC0081 should be raised when the archive format specified differs from the format of the actual archive and err:XC0085 should be raised when the format of the archive cannot be determined or processed.
Resolved issue 560 by removing err:XC0118 in the p:archive step. (It was a duplicate of err:XC0100.)
Resolved issue 559 by clarifying that err:XC0023 in p:rename applies if the match pattern matches more than attribute on a single element.
