public class XdmExternalObject
extends XdmItem

The class XdmExternalObject represents an XDM item that wraps an external (Java or .NET) object. As such, it is outside the scope of the XDM specification (but permitted as an extension).

In releases prior to 9.5, external objects in Saxon were represented as atomic values. From 9.5 they are represented as a fourth kind of item, alongside nodes, atomic values, and functions.
