FormatStyle

AI-generated Key Takeaways

FormatStyle is an enumeration used to define the style of localized date, time, or date-time formatters.
It is used for configuring the output style of date-time formatters like DateTimeFormatter and DateTimeFormatterBuilder.
The available styles include FULL, LONG, MEDIUM, and SHORT, each providing a different level of detail in the formatted output.
These styles range from full text representations with maximum detail to short, typically numeric formats.

public final enum FormatStyle extends Enum<FormatStyle>

Enumeration of the style of a localized date, time or date-time formatter.

These styles are used when obtaining a date-time style from configuration. See DateTimeFormatter and DateTimeFormatterBuilder for usage.

From class java.lang.Enum

final Object	clone() Throws CloneNotSupportedException.
final int	compareTo(FormatStyle o) Compares this enum with the specified object for order.
final boolean	equals(Object other) Returns true if the specified object is equal to this enum constant.
final void	finalize() enum classes cannot have finalize methods.
final Class<FormatStyle>	getDeclaringClass() Returns the Class object corresponding to this enum constant's enum type.
final int	hashCode() Returns a hash code for this enum constant.
final String	name() Returns the name of this enum constant, exactly as declared in its enum declaration.
final int	ordinal() Returns the ordinal of this enumeration constant (its position in its enum declaration, where the initial constant is assigned an ordinal of zero).
String	toString() Returns the name of this enum constant, as contained in the declaration.
static <T extends Enum<T>> T	valueOf(Class<T> enumType, String name) Returns the enum constant of the specified enum type with the specified name.

From class java.lang.Object

Object	clone() Creates and returns a copy of this `Object`.
boolean	equals(Object obj) Compares this instance with the specified object and indicates if they are equal.
void	finalize() Invoked when the garbage collector has detected that this instance is no longer reachable.
final Class<?>	getClass() Returns the unique instance of `Class` that represents this object's class.
int	hashCode() Returns an integer hash code for this object.
final void	notify() Causes a thread which is waiting on this object's monitor (by means of calling one of the `wait()` methods) to be woken up.
final void	notifyAll() Causes all threads which are waiting on this object's monitor (by means of calling one of the `wait()` methods) to be woken up.
String	toString() Returns a string containing a concise, human-readable description of this object.
final void	wait(long timeout, int nanos) Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the `notify()` or `notifyAll()` method of this object or until the specified timeout expires.
final void	wait(long timeout) Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the `notify()` or `notifyAll()` method of this object or until the specified timeout expires.
final void	wait() Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the `notify()` or `notifyAll()` method of this object.

From interface java.lang.Comparable

abstract int

compareTo(FormatStyle o)

Compares this object with the specified object for order.

Full text style, with the most detail. For example, the format might be 'Tuesday, April 12, 1952 AD' or '3:30:42pm PST'.

Long text style, with lots of detail. For example, the format might be 'January 12, 1952'.

Medium text style, with some detail. For example, the format might be 'Jan 12, 1952'.

Short text style, typically numeric. For example, the format might be '12.13.52' or '3:30pm'.
