Description

Interface Summary

AttributedCharacterIterator	This interface extends the CharacterIterator interface in order to support iteration over character attributes as well as over the characters themselves.
CharacterIterator	This interface defines a mechanism for iterating over a range of characters.

Class Summary

Annotation	This class is used as a wrapper for a text attribute object.
AttributedCharacterIterator.Attribute	Defines attribute keys that are used as text attributes.
AttributedString	This class models a String with attributes over various subranges of the string.
Bidi	Bidirectional Algorithm implementation.
BreakIterator	This class iterates over text elements such as words, lines, sentences, and characters.
ChoiceFormat	This class allows a format to be specified based on a range of numbers.
CollationElementIterator	The CollationElementIterator class is used as an iterator to walk through each character of an international string.
CollationKey	This class represents a pre-computed series of bits representing a String for under a particular Collator.
Collator	The Collator class performs locale-sensitive String comparison.
DateFormat
DateFormat.Field
DateFormatSymbols	This class acts as container for locale specific date/time formatting information such as the days of the week and the months of the year.
DecimalFormat
DecimalFormatSymbols	This class is a container for the symbols used by DecimalFormat to format numbers and currency for a particular locale.
FieldPosition	This class is used by the java.text formatting classes to track field positions.
Format	This class is the abstract superclass of classes that format and parse data to/from Strings.
Format.Field
MessageFormat
MessageFormat.Field
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	This is the abstract superclass of all classes which format and parse numeric values such as decimal numbers, integers, currency values, and percentages.
NumberFormat.Field
ParsePosition	This class is used to keep track of the current position during parsing operations.
RuleBasedCollator	The RuleBasedCollator class is a concrete subclass of Collator that provides a simple, data-driven, table collator.
SimpleDateFormat	SimpleDateFormat provides convenient methods for parsing and formatting dates using Gregorian calendars (see java.util.GregorianCalendar).
StringCharacterIterator	This class iterates over a range of characters in a String.

Enum Summary

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 Summary

ParseException

This exception is thrown when an unexpected error occurs during parsing.
