    - #### resolve

          public static Document resolve(Document in)
                                  throws BadParseAttributeException,
                                         InclusionLoopException,
                                         IOException,
                                         NoIncludeLocationException,
                                         ParsingException,
                                         UnsupportedEncodingException,
                                         XIncludeException

      Returns a copy of the document in which all `xinclude:include` elements have been replaced by their referenced content. The original `Document` object is not modified. Resolution is recursive; that is, include elements in the included documents are themselves resolved. The `Document` returned contains no include elements.

      Parameters:
        `in` - the document in which include elements should be resolved
      Returns:
        copy of the document in which all `xinclude:include` elements have been replaced by their referenced content
      Throws:
        `BadParseAttributeException` - if an `include` element has a `parse` attribute with any value other than `text` or `parse`
        `InclusionLoopException` - if the document contains an XInclude element that attempts to include a document in which this element is directly or indirectly included.
        `IOException` - if an included document could not be loaded, and no fallback was available
        `NoIncludeLocationException` - if an `xinclude:include` element does not have an `href` attribute
        `ParsingException` - if an included XML document was malformed
        `UnsupportedEncodingException` - if an included document used an encoding this parser does not support, and no fallback was available
        `XIncludeException` - if the document violates the syntax rules of XInclude
        `XMLException` - if resolving an include element would result in a malformed document

    - #### resolve

          public static Document resolve(Document in,
                                         Builder builder)
                                  throws BadParseAttributeException,

                                         XIncludeException

      Returns a copy of the document in which all `xinclude:include` elements have been replaced by their referenced content as loaded by the builder. The original `Document` object is not modified. Resolution is recursive; that is, include elements in the included documents are themselves resolved. The document returned contains no `include` elements.

      Parameters:
        `in` - the document in which include elements should be resolved
        `builder` - the builder used to build the nodes included from other documents
      Returns:
        copy of the document in which all `xinclude:include` elements have been replaced by their referenced content
      Throws:
        `BadParseAttributeException` - if an `include` element has a `parse` attribute with any value other than `text` or `parse`
        `InclusionLoopException` - if the document contains an XInclude element that attempts to include a document in which this element is directly or indirectly included.
        `IOException` - if an included document could not be loaded, and no fallback was available
        `NoIncludeLocationException` - if an `xinclude:include` element does not have an href attribute.
        `ParsingException` - if an included XML document was malformed
        `UnsupportedEncodingException` - if an included document used an encoding this parser does not support, and no fallback was available
        `XIncludeException` - if the document violates the syntax rules of XInclude
        `XMLException` - if resolving an include element would result in a malformed document

    - #### resolveInPlace

          public static void resolveInPlace(Document in)
                                     throws BadParseAttributeException,
                                            InclusionLoopException,
                                            IOException,
                                            NoIncludeLocationException,
                                            ParsingException,
                                            UnsupportedEncodingException,
                                            XIncludeException

      Modifies a document by replacing all `xinclude:include` elements by their referenced content. Resolution is recursive; that is, include elements in the included documents are themselves resolved. The resolved document contains no `xinclude:include` elements.

      If the inclusion fails for any reason—XInclude syntax error, missing resource with no fallback, etc.—the document may be left in a partially resolved state.

      Parameters:
        `in` - the document in which include elements should be resolved
      Throws:
        `BadParseAttributeException` - if an `include` element has a `parse` attribute with any value other than `text` or `parse`
        `InclusionLoopException` - if the document contains an XInclude element that attempts to include a document in which this element is directly or indirectly included
        `IOException` - if an included document could not be loaded, and no fallback was available
        `NoIncludeLocationException` - if an `xinclude:include` element does not have an `href` attribute
        `ParsingException` - if an included XML document was malformed
        `UnsupportedEncodingException` - if an included document used an encoding this parser does not support, and no fallback was available
        `XIncludeException` - if the document violates the syntax rules of XInclude
        `XMLException` - if resolving an include element would result in a malformed document
