All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractNativeConstraintExecutor, AbstractSPARQLExecutor, DatatypeConstraintExecutor, ExpressionConstraintExecutor, SPARQLComponentExecutor, SPARQLConstraintExecutor
```
public interface ConstraintExecutor
```
Interface for objects that can execute a given constraint. Implementations of this include those using SPARQL or JavaScript constraint components but also natively implemented handlers for sh:property, sh:class and the other SHACL core constraint types.

- Method Detail
  - executeConstraint
```
void executeConstraint(Constraint constraint,
                       ValidationEngine engine,
                       Collection<org.apache.jena.rdf.model.RDFNode> focusNodes)
```
    Validates a collection of focus nodes against a constraint. Implementations are typically calling engine.createValidationResult() to record results such as violations.
    
    Parameters:
    
    constraint - the Constraint (instance) to validate (e.g. a specific sh:datatype constraint)
    
    engine - the ValidationEngine
    
    focusNodes - the collection of focus nodes - should not contain duplicates
