Interface | Description |
---|---|
AttributedCharacterIterator | An AttributedCharacterIterator allows iteration through both text and related attribute information. |
CharacterIterator | This interface defines a protocol for bidirectional iteration over text. |
Class | Description |
---|---|
Annotation | An Annotation object is used as a wrapper for a text attribute value if the attribute has annotation characteristics. |
AttributedCharacterIterator.Attribute | Defines attribute keys that are used to identify text attributes. |
AttributedString | An AttributedString holds text and related attribute information. |
Bidi | This class implements the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm. |
BreakIterator | The BreakIterator class implements methods for finding the location of boundaries in text. |
ChoiceFormat | A ChoiceFormat allows you to attach a format to a range of numbers. |
CollationElementIterator | The CollationElementIterator class is used as an iterator to walk through each character of an international string. |
CollationKey | A CollationKey represents a String under the rules of a specific Collator object. |
Collator | The Collator class performs locale-sensitive String comparison. |
DateFormat | DateFormat is an abstract class for date/time formatting subclasses which formats and parses dates or time in a language-independent manner. |
DateFormat.Field | Defines constants that are used as attribute keys in the AttributedCharacterIterator returned from DateFormat.formatToCharacterIterator and as field identifiers in FieldPosition . |
DateFormatSymbols | DateFormatSymbols is a public class for encapsulating localizable date-time formatting data, such as the names of the months, the names of the days of the week, and the time zone data. |
DecimalFormat | DecimalFormat is a concrete subclass of NumberFormat that formats decimal numbers. |
DecimalFormatSymbols | This class represents the set of symbols (such as the decimal separator, the grouping separator, and so on) needed by DecimalFormat to format numbers. |
FieldPosition | FieldPosition is a simple class used by Format and its subclasses to identify fields in formatted output. |
Format | Format is an abstract base class for formatting locale-sensitive information such as dates, messages, and numbers. |
Format.Field | Defines constants that are used as attribute keys in the AttributedCharacterIterator returned from Format.formatToCharacterIterator and as field identifiers in FieldPosition . |
MessageFormat | MessageFormat provides a means to produce concatenated messages in a language-neutral way. |
MessageFormat.Field | Defines constants that are used as attribute keys in the AttributedCharacterIterator returned from MessageFormat.formatToCharacterIterator . |
Normalizer | This class provides the method normalize which transforms Unicode text into an equivalent composed or decomposed form, allowing for easier sorting and searching of text. |
NumberFormat | NumberFormat is the abstract base class for all number formats. |
NumberFormat.Field | Defines constants that are used as attribute keys in the AttributedCharacterIterator returned from NumberFormat.formatToCharacterIterator and as field identifiers in FieldPosition . |
ParsePosition | ParsePosition is a simple class used by Format and its subclasses to keep track of the current position during parsing. |
RuleBasedCollator | The RuleBasedCollator class is a concrete subclass of Collator that provides a simple, data-driven, table collator. |
SimpleDateFormat | SimpleDateFormat is a concrete class for formatting and parsing dates in a locale-sensitive manner. |
StringCharacterIterator | StringCharacterIterator implements the CharacterIterator protocol for a String . |
Enum | Description |
---|---|
Normalizer.Form | This enum provides constants of the four Unicode normalization forms that are described in Unicode Standard Annex #15 — Unicode Normalization Forms and two methods to access them. |
Exception | Description |
---|---|
ParseException | Signals that an error has been reached unexpectedly while parsing. |
These classes are capable of formatting dates, numbers, and messages, parsing; searching and sorting strings; and iterating over characters, words, sentences, and line breaks. This package contains three main groups of classes and interfaces:
