* This class is used by applications seeking to handle dates in non-ISO calendar systems. * For example, the Japanese, Minguo, Thai Buddhist and others. *
* {@code ChronoLocalDate} is built on the generic concepts of year, month and day. * The calendar system, represented by a {@link java.time.temporal.Chrono}, expresses the relationship between * the fields and this class allows the resulting date to be manipulated. *
* Note that not all calendar systems are suitable for use with this class. * For example, the Mayan calendar uses a system that bears no relation to years, months and days. *
* The API design encourages the use of {@code LocalDate} for the majority of the application. * This includes code to read and write from a persistent data store, such as a database, * and to send dates and times across a network. The {@code ChronoLocalDate} instance is then used * at the user interface level to deal with localized input/output. * *
Example:
*
* System.out.printf("Example()%n");
* // Enumerate the list of available calendars and print today for each
* Set<Chrono> chronos = Chrono.getAvailableChronologies();
* for (Chrono chrono : chronos) {
* ChronoLocalDate date = chrono.dateNow();
* System.out.printf(" %20s: %s%n", chrono.getID(), date.toString());
* }
*
* // Print the Hijrah date and calendar
* ChronoLocalDate date = Chrono.of("Hijrah").dateNow();
* int day = date.get(ChronoField.DAY_OF_MONTH);
* int dow = date.get(ChronoField.DAY_OF_WEEK);
* int month = date.get(ChronoField.MONTH_OF_YEAR);
* int year = date.get(ChronoField.YEAR);
* System.out.printf(" Today is %s %s %d-%s-%d%n", date.getChrono().getID(),
* dow, day, month, year);
* // Print today's date and the last day of the year
* ChronoLocalDate now1 = Chrono.of("Hijrah").dateNow();
* ChronoLocalDate first = now1.with(ChronoField.DAY_OF_MONTH, 1)
* .with(ChronoField.MONTH_OF_YEAR, 1);
* ChronoLocalDate last = first.plus(1, ChronoUnit.YEARS)
* .minus(1, ChronoUnit.DAYS);
* System.out.printf(" Today is %s: start: %s; end: %s%n", last.getChrono().getID(),
* first, last);
*
*
* The set of calendars is extensible by defining a subclass of {@link ChronoLocalDate} * to represent a date instance and an implementation of {@code Chrono} * to be the factory for the ChronoLocalDate subclass. *
*To permit the discovery of the additional calendar types the implementation of * {@code Chrono} must be registered as a Service implementing the {@code Chrono} interface * in the {@code META-INF/Services} file as per the specification of {@link java.util.ServiceLoader}. * The subclass must function according to the {@code Chrono} class description and must provide its * {@link java.time.temporal.Chrono#getId() chronlogy ID} and {@link Chrono#getCalendarType() calendar type}.
* ** This adds the specified period in years to the date. * In some cases, adding years can cause the resulting date to become invalid. * If this occurs, then other fields, typically the day-of-month, will be adjusted to ensure * that the result is valid. Typically this will select the last valid day of the month. *
* This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.
