Package org.joda.time.tz

Class ZoneInfoCompiler

java.lang.Object

org.joda.time.tz.ZoneInfoCompiler

public class ZoneInfoCompiler
extends Object

Compiles IANA ZoneInfo database files into binary files for each time zone in the database. DateTimeZoneBuilder is used to construct and encode compiled data files. ZoneInfoProvider loads the encoded files and converts them back into DateTimeZone objects.

Although this tool is similar to zic, the binary formats are not compatible. The latest IANA time zone database files may be obtained here.

ZoneInfoCompiler is mutable and not thread-safe, although the main method may be safely invoked by multiple threads.

Since:

1.0
