An AttributedCharacterIterator allows iteration through both text and related attribute information.

This interface defines a protocol for bidirectional iteration over text.

An Annotation object is used as a wrapper for a text attribute value if the attribute has annotation characteristics.

An AttributedString holds text and related attribute information.

This class implements the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm.

The BreakIterator class implements methods for finding the location of boundaries in text.

A ChoiceFormat allows you to attach a format to a range of numbers.

The CollationElementIterator class is used as an iterator to walk through each character of an international string.

A CollationKey represents a String under the rules of a specific Collator object.

The Collator class performs locale-sensitive String comparison.

DateFormat is an abstract class for date/time formatting subclasses which formats and parses dates or time in a language-independent manner.

DateFormatSymbols is a public class for encapsulating localizable date-time formatting data, such as the names of the months, the names of the days of the week, and the time zone data.

is a concrete subclass of NumberFormat that formats decimal numbers.

This class represents the set of symbols (such as the decimal separator, the grouping separator, and so on) needed by DecimalFormat to format numbers.

FieldPosition is a simple class used by Format and its subclasses to identify fields in formatted output.

Format is an abstract base class for formatting locale-sensitive information such as dates, messages, and numbers.

provides a means to produce concatenated messages in a language-neutral way.

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 is the abstract base class for all number formats.

ParsePosition is a simple class used by Format and its subclasses to keep track of the current position during parsing.

The class is a concrete subclass of Collator that provides a simple, data-driven, table collator.

is a concrete class for formatting and parsing dates in a locale-sensitive manner.

StringCharacterIterator implements the CharacterIterator protocol for a String.

Signals that an error has been reached unexpectedly while parsing.
