## Interface Transform

- All Superinterfaces:
    AlgorithmMethod, XMLStructure
  All Known Subinterfaces:
    CanonicalizationMethod
  All Known Implementing Classes:
    TransformService

      public interface Transform
      extends XMLStructure, AlgorithmMethod

  A representation of the XML `Transform` element as defined in the W3C Recommendation for XML-Signature Syntax and Processing. The XML Schema Definition is defined as:

       <element name="Transform" type="ds:TransformType"/>
         <complexType name="TransformType" mixed="true">
           <choice minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
             <any namespace="##other" processContents="lax"/>
             <!-- (1,1) elements from (0,unbounded) namespaces -->
             <element name="XPath" type="string"/>
           </choice>
           <attribute name="Algorithm" type="anyURI" use="required"/>
         </complexType>

  A `Transform` instance may be created by invoking the `newTransform` method of the `XMLSignatureFactory` class.
  Since:

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### getParameterSpec

          AlgorithmParameterSpec getParameterSpec()

      Returns the algorithm-specific input parameters associated with this `Transform`.

      The returned parameters can be typecast to a `TransformParameterSpec` object.

      Specified by:
        `getParameterSpec` in interface `AlgorithmMethod`
      Returns:
        the algorithm-specific input parameters (may be `null` if not specified)

    - #### transform

          Data transform(Data data,
                       XMLCryptoContext context)
                         throws TransformException

      Transforms the specified data using the underlying transform algorithm.
      Parameters:
        `data` - the data to be transformed
        `context` - the `XMLCryptoContext` containing additional context (may be `null` if not applicable)
      Returns:
        the transformed data
      Throws:
        `NullPointerException` - if `data` is `null`
        `TransformException` - if an error occurs while executing the transform

    - #### transform

          Data transform(Data data,
                       XMLCryptoContext context,
                       OutputStream os)
                         throws TransformException

      Transforms the specified data using the underlying transform algorithm. If the output of this transform is an `OctetStreamData`, then this method returns `null` and the bytes are written to the specified `OutputStream`. Otherwise, the `OutputStream` is ignored and the method behaves as if `transform(Data, XMLCryptoContext)` were invoked.
      Parameters:
        `data` - the data to be transformed
        `context` - the `XMLCryptoContext` containing additional context (may be `null` if not applicable)
        `os` - the `OutputStream` that should be used to write the transformed data to
      Returns:
        the transformed data (or `null` if the data was written to the `OutputStream` parameter)
      Throws:
        `NullPointerException` - if `data` or `os` is `null`
        `TransformException` - if an error occurs while executing the transform
