Java XQuery

This Java program demonstrates how to use the Saxon library to execute an XQuery expression that retrieves book titles from an XML document named 'courses.xml'. It initializes a Processor, compiles the XQuery, sets the context item to the input XML document, and evaluates the query to print the titles. The program includes error handling for Saxon API exceptions.
