| '''Summary'''
|Fetches the resource referred to by the given {{Code|href}} string and returns it as a document node.<br/>The {{Code|$options}} argument can be used to change the parsing behavior. Allowed options are all [[Options#Parsing|parsing]] and [[Options#XML Parsing|XML parsing]] options in lower case.<br/>The function differs from {{Code|fn:doc}} in various aspects:
* It is ''non-deterministicnondeterministic'', i.e., a new document node will be created by each call of this function.
* A document created by this function will be garbage-collected as soon as it is not referenced anymore.
* URIs will not be resolved against existing databases. As a result, it will not trigger any locks (see [[Transaction Management#Limitations|limitations of database locking]] for more details).
