Class PeriodFormat

  • public class PeriodFormat
extends java.lang.Object
    Factory that creates instances of PeriodFormatter.

    Period formatting is performed by the PeriodFormatter class. Three classes provide factory methods to create formatters, and this is one. The others are ISOPeriodFormat and PeriodFormatterBuilder.

    PeriodFormat is thread-safe and immutable, and the formatters it returns are as well.
