ResolverStyle

AI-generated Key Takeaways

• ResolverStyle is an enumeration used to define how dates and times are resolved during the parsing process.

• It offers three distinct styles: LENIENT, SMART, and STRICT, each influencing how the field values are interpreted and resolved.

• LENIENT allows for flexible interpretation of values, SMART applies intelligent defaults, and STRICT enforces strict adherence to valid value ranges.

• The chosen ResolverStyle impacts the second phase of parsing, where parsed field-value pairs are transformed into date and/or time objects.

public final enum ResolverStyle extends Enum<ResolverStyle>

Enumeration of different ways to resolve dates and times.

Parsing a text string occurs in two phases. Phase 1 is a basic text parse according to the fields added to the builder. Phase 2 resolves the parsed field-value pairs into date and/or time objects. This style is used to control how phase 2, resolving, happens.

Inherited Method Summary

From class java.lang.Enum

final Object	clone() Throws CloneNotSupportedException.
final int	compareTo(ResolverStyle 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<ResolverStyle>	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(ResolverStyle o) Compares this object with the specified object for order.

Enum Values

public static final ResolverStyle LENIENT

Style to resolve dates and times leniently.

Using lenient resolution will resolve the values in an appropriate lenient manner. Individual fields will interpret this differently.

For example, lenient mode allows the month in the ISO calendar system to be outside the range 1 to 12. For example, month 15 is treated as being 3 months after month 12.

public static final ResolverStyle SMART

Style to resolve dates and times in a smart, or intelligent, manner.

Using smart resolution will perform the sensible default for each field, which may be the same as strict, the same as lenient, or a third behavior. Individual fields will interpret this differently.

For example, resolving year-month and day-of-month in the ISO calendar system using smart mode will ensure that the day-of-month is from 1 to 31, converting any value beyond the last valid day-of-month to be the last valid day-of-month.

public static final ResolverStyle STRICT

Style to resolve dates and times strictly.

Using strict resolution will ensure that all parsed values are within the outer range of valid values for the field. Individual fields may be further processed for strictness.

For example, resolving year-month and day-of-month in the ISO calendar system using strict mode will ensure that the day-of-month is valid for the year-month, rejecting invalid values.
