IsoEra represents an era in the ISO calendar system, defining 'Current Era' (CE) and 'Before Current Era' (BCE).
Although ISO-8601 doesn't define eras, IsoEra provides them for years on or after 0001-01-01 (CE) and years before (BCE).
It's crucial to use getValue() instead of ordinal() to get the numeric representation of an IsoEra.
IsoEra has two enum values: BCE (value 0) and CE (value 1).

An era in the ISO calendar system.
The ISO-8601 standard does not define eras.
A definition has therefore been created with two eras - 'Current era' (CE) for
years on or after 0001-01-01 (ISO), and 'Before current era' (BCE) for years before that.

Do not use ordinal() to obtain the numeric representation of IsoEra.
Use getValue() instead.

CE has a numeric value of 1, and BCE has 0. Each era has a proleptic-year mapping. `getValue()` provides the numeric representation; avoid using `ordinal()`. `IsoEra` extends `Enum` and implements `Era`, providing methods for temporal adjustments, value retrieval, and comparisons. It uses methods like `get()`, `getLong()`, and `isSupported()`.\n"]]
