    The main API for dates, times, instants, and durations.

    The main API for dates, times, instants, and durations.

    The classes defined here represent the principal date-time concepts, including instants, durations, dates, times, time-zones and periods. They are based on the ISO calendar system, which is the de facto world calendar following the proleptic Gregorian rules. All the classes are immutable and thread-safe.

    Each date time instance is composed of fields that are conveniently made available by the APIs. For lower level access to the fields refer to the org.threeten.bp.temporal package. Each class includes support for printing and parsing all manner of dates and times. Refer to the org.threeten.bp.format package for customization options.

    The org.threeten.bp.chrono package contains the calendar neutral API. This is intended for use by applications that need to use localized calendars. It is recommended that applications use the ISO-8601 dates and time classes from this package across system boundaries, such as to the database or across the network. The calendar neutral API should be reserved for interactions with users.

    Dates and Times

    org.threeten.bp.Instant is essentially a numeric timestamp. The current Instant can be retrieved from a org.threeten.bp.Clock. This is useful for logging and persistence of a point in time and has in the past been associated with storing the result from java.lang.System#currentTimeMillis().

    org.threeten.bp.LocalDate stores a date without a time. This stores a date like '2010-12-03' and could be used to store a birthday.

    org.threeten.bp.LocalTime stores a time without a date. This stores a time like '11:30' and could be used to store an opening or closing time.

    org.threeten.bp.LocalDateTime stores a date and time. This stores a date-time like '2010-12-03T11:30'.

    org.threeten.bp.OffsetTime stores a time and offset from UTC without a date. This stores a date like '11:30+01:00'. The ZoneOffset is of the form '+01:00'.

    org.threeten.bp.OffsetDateTime stores a date and time and offset from UTC. This stores a date-time like '2010-12-03T11:30+01:00'. This is sometimes found in XML messages and other forms of persistence, but contains less information than a full time-zone.

    org.threeten.bp.ZonedDateTime stores a date and time with a time-zone. This is useful if you want to perform accurate calculations of dates and times taking into account the org.threeten.bp.ZoneId, such as 'Europe/Paris'. Where possible, it is recommended to use a simpler class. The widespread use of time-zones tends to add considerable complexity to an application.

    Duration and Period

    Beyond dates and times, the API also allows the storage of period and durations of time. A org.threeten.bp.Duration is a simple measure of time along the time-line in nanoseconds. A org.threeten.bp.Period expresses an amount of time in units meaningful to humans, such as years or hours.

    Additional value types

    org.threeten.bp.Year stores a year on its own. This stores a single year in isolation, such as '2010'.

    org.threeten.bp.YearMonth stores a year and month without a day or time. This stores a year and month, such as '2010-12' and could be used for a credit card expiry.

    org.threeten.bp.MonthDay stores a month and day without a year or time. This stores a month and day-of-month, such as '--12-03' and could be used to store an annual event like a birthday without storing the year.

    org.threeten.bp.Month stores a month on its own. This stores a single month-of-year in isolation, such as 'DECEMBER'.

    org.threeten.bp.DayOfWeek stores a day-of-week on its own. This stores a single day-of-week in isolation, such as 'TUESDAY'.

  • package format

    Provides classes to print and parse dates and times.

    Provides classes to print and parse dates and times.

    Printing and parsing is based around the DateTimeFormatter class. That class contains common formatters and factory methods. The DateTimeFormatterBuilder class is available for advanced and complex use cases.

    Localization occurs by calling withLocale(Locale) on the formatter. Further customization is possible using DecimalStyle.

Type Members

  1. final class TTBPDateTimeParseContext extends AnyRef

    Context object used during date and time parsing.

    Context object used during date and time parsing.

    This class represents the current state of the parse. It has the ability to store and retrieve the parsed values and manage optional segments. It also provides key information to the parsing methods.

    Once parsing is complete, the #toBuilder() is typically used to obtain a builder that can combine the separate parsed fields into meaningful values.

    Specification for implementors

    This class is a mutable context intended for use from a single thread. Usage of the class is thread-safe within standard parsing as a new instance of this class is automatically created for each parse and parsing is single-threaded

  2. final class TTBPDateTimePrintContext extends AnyRef

    Context object used during date and time printing.

    Context object used during date and time printing.

    This class provides a single wrapper to items used in the print.

    Specification for implementors

    This class is a mutable context intended for use from a single thread. Usage of the class is thread-safe within standard printing as the framework creates a new instance of the class for each print and printing is single-threaded.

  3. abstract class TTBPDateTimeTextProvider extends AnyRef

    The Service Provider Interface (SPI) to be implemented by classes providing the textual form of a date-time field.

    The Service Provider Interface (SPI) to be implemented by classes providing the textual form of a date-time field.

    Specification for implementors

    This interface is a service provider that can be called by multiple threads. Implementations must be thread-safe. Implementations should cache the textual information.

  4. final class TTBPSimpleDateTimeTextProvider extends TTBPDateTimeTextProvider

    The Service Provider Implementation to obtain date-time text for a field.

    The Service Provider Implementation to obtain date-time text for a field.

    This implementation is based on extraction of data from a DateFormatSymbols.

    Specification for implementors

    This class is immutable and thread-safe.
