yes, there are lots of ways to do things as pipelining with BaseX, but you’ll have to dig a little bit deeper and do this in Java. I know too less about the Saxon API, but you could e.g. use the following Java code snippet to pass on an input stream to BaseX:

    InputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream("<a/>".getBytes());
