### Root

    public Root()

Method Detail

### simplify

    public Expression simplify(StaticContext env)
                        throws XPathException

  Simplify and validate.

  Specified by:
    `simplify` in interface `Expression`
  Overrides:
    `simplify` in class `FunctionCall`
  Throws:
    `XPathException`

### computeSpecialProperties

    public int computeSpecialProperties()

  Get the static properties of this expression (other than its type). The result is bit-significant. These properties are used for optimizations. In general, if property bit is set, it is true, but if it is unset, the value is unknown.

  Overrides:
    `computeSpecialProperties` in class `SystemFunction`

### evaluateItem

    public Item evaluateItem(XPathContext c)
                      throws XPathException

  Evaluate in a general context

  Specified by:
    `evaluateItem` in interface `Expression`
  Overrides:
    `evaluateItem` in class `ComputedExpression`
  Parameters:
    `c` - The context in which the expression is to be evaluated
  Returns:
    the node or atomic value that results from evaluating the expression; or null to indicate that the result is an empty sequence
  Throws:
    `XPathException` - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression
