Package net.time4j.format

Interface NumberSymbolProvider

public interface NumberSymbolProvider

This SPI-interface enables the access to localized number properties like zero digits and is instantiated via a ServiceLoader-mechanism.

If there is no external NumberSymbolProvider then Time4J will just delegate to the internal resources or to the JDK.

Note: All implementations must have a public no-arg constructor.
