# Package net.sf.saxon.java

This package contains Saxon code that is specific to the Java platform, as distinct from .NET

The areas where Saxon has different implementations for the two platforms are primarily URI handling, interfaces to XML parsers, regular expression handling, and use of collations.

Access to these classes is generally via the `Platform` object, of which the implementation for the Java platform is named `JavaPlatform`. This is obtained in turn via the static method `Version.platform`
