Package net.time4j.format

package net.time4j.format

Defines common interfaces for any format support of Time4J.

Interface Summary

Interface	Description
FormatPatternProvider	This SPI-interface enables the access to localized gregorian date-, time- or interval patterns according to the CLDR-specifiation and is instantiated via a ServiceLoader-mechanism.
LocalizedPatternSupport	Marker interface which indicates support for general localized format patterns compatible with the CLDR-specification.
NumberSymbolProvider	This SPI-interface enables the access to localized number properties like zero digits and is instantiated via a ServiceLoader-mechanism.
NumericalElement<V extends Enum<V>>	A chronological element which allows a numerical representation.
PluralProvider	This SPI-interface enables the access to localized plural rules and is instantiated via a ServiceLoader-mechanism.
RelativeTimeProvider	This SPI-interface enables the access to localized unit patterns and is instantiated via a ServiceLoader-mechanism.
TemporalFormatter<T>	Generic facade for any temporal/chronological format object which can print temporal objects to text or parse texts to temporal objects.
TextElement<V>	A chronological element which can be formatted as text or can be parsed from a text.
TextProvider	This SPI-interface enables the access to calendrical standard text informations and will be instantiated by a ServiceLoader-mechanism.
UnitPatternProvider	This SPI-interface enables the access to localized unit patterns and is instantiated via a ServiceLoader-mechanism.
WeekdataProvider	This SPI-interface enables the access to localized week rules and is instantiated via a ServiceLoader-mechanism.

Class Summary

Class	Description
Attributes	A collection of format attributes for controlling the formatting and parsing.
Attributes.Builder	Builds a collection of format attributes.
CalendarText	Source for localized calendrical informations on enum basis like month or weekday names.
DisplayElement<V extends Comparable<V>>	Standard element which offers localized names for display purposes (in most cases).
PluralRules	Helps to determine the plural category for a given number of units.
RawValues	Stores any kind of raw values as ChronoDisplay.
TextAccessor	Supplies an access to the internal name list of an enum-based element value.
TimeSpanFormatter<U,S extends TimeSpan<U>>	Represents a non-localized and user-defined format for timespans based on a pattern containing some standard symbols and literals.

Enum Class Summary

Enum Class	Description
DisplayMode	Deprecated. Use java.time.format.FormatStyle instead
Leniency	Defines how lenient parsing of chronological texts should be.
NumberSystem	Defines the number system.
NumberType	Defines the number type.
OutputContext	Determines in which output context the formatting is to be performed.
PluralCategory	Enumeration of CLDR plural categories.
TextWidth	Defines the width of a formatted output of chronological element values as text.

Annotation Interfaces Summary

Annotation Interface	Description
CalendarType	This Annotation can be used to mark all types of ChronoEntity which need formatted representations and access to text resources dependent on a calendar system.
