43 /**
44  * <code>Format</code> is an abstract base class for formatting locale-sensitive
45  * information such as dates, messages, and numbers.
46  *
47  * <p>
48  * <code>Format</code> defines the programming interface for formatting
49  * locale-sensitive objects into <code>String</code>s (the
50  * <code>format</code> method) and for parsing <code>String</code>s back
51  * into objects (the <code>parseObject</code> method).
52  *
53  * <p>
54  * Generally, a format's <code>parseObject</code> method must be able to parse
55  * any string formatted by its <code>format</code> method. However, there may
56  * be exceptional cases where this is not possible. For example, a
57  * <code>format</code> method might create two adjacent integer numbers with
58  * no separator in between, and in this case the <code>parseObject</code> could
59  * not tell which digits belong to which number.
60  *
61  * <h3>Subclassing</h3>
62  *
63  * <p>
64  * The Java Platform provides three specialized subclasses of <code>Format</code>--
65  * <code>DateFormat</code>, <code>MessageFormat</code>, and
66  * <code>NumberFormat</code>--for formatting dates, messages, and numbers,
67  * respectively.
68  * <p>
69  * Concrete subclasses must implement three methods:
70  * <ol>
71  * <li> <code>format(Object obj, StringBuffer toAppendTo, FieldPosition pos)</code>
72  * <li> <code>formatToCharacterIterator(Object obj)</code>
73  * <li> <code>parseObject(String source, ParsePosition pos)</code>
74  * </ol>
75  * These general methods allow polymorphic parsing and formatting of objects
76  * and are used, for example, by <code>MessageFormat</code>.
77  * Subclasses often also provide additional <code>format</code> methods for
78  * specific input types as well as <code>parse</code> methods for specific
79  * result types. Any <code>parse</code> method that does not take a
80  * <code>ParsePosition</code> argument should throw <code>ParseException</code>
81  * when no text in the required format is at the beginning of the input text.
82  *
83  * <p>
84  * Most subclasses will also implement the following factory methods:
85  * <ol>
86  * <li>
87  * <code>getInstance</code> for getting a useful format object appropriate
88  * for the current locale
89  * <li>
90  * <code>getInstance(Locale)</code> for getting a useful format
91  * object appropriate for the specified locale
92  * </ol>
93  * In addition, some subclasses may also implement other
94  * <code>getXxxxInstance</code> methods for more specialized control. For
95  * example, the <code>NumberFormat</code> class provides
96  * <code>getPercentInstance</code> and <code>getCurrencyInstance</code>
97  * methods for getting specialized number formatters.
98  *
99  * <p>
100  * Subclasses of <code>Format</code> that allow programmers to create objects
101  * for locales (with <code>getInstance(Locale)</code> for example)
102  * must also implement the following class method:
103  * <blockquote>
104  * <pre>
105  * public static Locale[] getAvailableLocales()
106  * </pre>
107  * </blockquote>
108  *
109  * <p>
110  * And finally subclasses may define a set of constants to identify the various
111  * fields in the formatted output. These constants are used to create a FieldPosition
112  * object which identifies what information is contained in the field and its
113  * position in the formatted result. These constants should be named
114  * <code><em>item</em>_FIELD</code> where <code><em>item</em></code> identifies
115  * the field. For examples of these constants, see <code>ERA_FIELD</code> and its
116  * friends in {@link DateFormat}.
117  *
118  * <h4><a name="synchronization">Synchronization</a></h4>
119  *
120  * <p>
121  * Formats are generally not synchronized.
122  * It is recommended to create separate format instances for each thread.
123  * If multiple threads access a format concurrently, it must be synchronized
124  * externally.
