Description

The p:hash-document step is, operationally, a bit like a combination of the p:store and p:hash steps. It begins by serializing the document that appears on the source port using the serialization parameters specified. Like p:store, it accepts an extension option to decode binary documents.

Next, a hash is computed for the serialized document. The hash options accepted are the same as those for p:hash.

Note

Both the p:store and p:hash steps have a version option. In p:hash-document, the version option is used exclusively for serialization. To specify the version of the hashing algorithm, you must use the hash-version option.

Warning

If an XML (or JSON) document is passed to p:hash-document, the step does not produce a canonical serialization before computing the hash. This step is therefore not reliable for hashes of XML documents. (Canonicalization will be added in the future.)

The computed hash is returned in a c:result element on the output port.
