```
public class Parse
extends SystemFunction
```
This class implements the saxon:parse() extension function, which is specially-recognized by the system because it needs access to parts of the static context

```
public void checkArguments(ExpressionVisitor visitor)
                    throws XPathException
```
    Method supplied by each class of function to check arguments during parsing, when all the argument expressions have been read
    
    Overrides:
    
    checkArguments in class SystemFunction
    
    Parameters:
    
    visitor - the expression visitor
    
    Throws:
    
    XPathException
  - preEvaluate
```
public Expression preEvaluate(ExpressionVisitor visitor)
                       throws XPathException
```
    Pre-evaluate a function at compile time. Static evaluation is suppressed for saxon:parse because no controller is available.
    
    Overrides:
    
    preEvaluate in class FunctionCall
    
    Parameters:
    
    visitor - an expression visitor
    
    Returns:
    
    the result of the early evaluation, or the original expression, or potentially a simplified expression
    
    Throws:
    
    XPathException
  - evaluateItem
```
public Item evaluateItem(XPathContext c)
                  throws XPathException
```
    Evaluate in a general context
    
    Specified by:
    
    evaluateItem in interface EvaluableItem
    
    Overrides:
    
    evaluateItem in class Expression
    
    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
