public final class Interval extends BaseInterval implements ReadableInterval, java.io.Serializable
A time interval represents a period of time between two instants. Intervals are inclusive of the start instant and exclusive of the end. The end instant is always greater than or equal to the start instant.
Intervals have a fixed millisecond duration.
This is the difference between the start and end instants.
The duration is represented separately by ReadableDuration.
As a result, intervals are not comparable.
To compare the length of two intervals, you should compare their durations.
An interval can also be converted to a ReadablePeriod.
This represents the difference between the start and end points in terms of fields
such as years and days.
Interval is thread-safe and immutable.

The recognised object types are defined in
ConverterManager and
include ReadableInterval and String.
The String formats are described by ISODateTimeFormat.dateTimeParser()
and ISOPeriodFormat.standard(), and may be 'datetime/datetime',
'datetime/period' or 'period/datetime'.

Interval from the specified string.
The String formats are described by ISODateTimeFormat.dateTimeParser()
and ISOPeriodFormat.standard(), and may be 'datetime/datetime',
'datetime/period' or 'period/datetime'.
This method operates by parsing in the default time-zone.
Any offset contained within the string being parsed will be normalised to the
offset of the default time-zone. See also parseWithOffset(String).
str - the string to parse, not nullpublic static Interval parseWithOffset(java.lang.String str)
Interval from the specified string, using any offset it contains.
The String formats are described by
ISODateTimeFormat.dateTimeParser().withOffsetParsed()
and ISOPeriodFormat.standard(), and may be 'datetime/datetime',
'datetime/period' or 'period/datetime'.
Sometimes this method and new Interval(str) return different results.
This can be confusing as the difference is not visible in AbstractInterval.toString().
When passed a string without an offset, such as '2010-06-30T01:20/P1D',
both the constructor and this method use the default time-zone.
As such, Interval.parseWithOffset("2010-06-30T01:20/P1D") and
new Interval("2010-06-30T01:20/P1D")) are equal.
However, when this method is passed a string with an offset,
the offset is directly parsed and stored.
As such, Interval.parseWithOffset("2010-06-30T01:20+02:00/P1D") and
new Interval("2010-06-30T01:20+02:00/P1D")) are NOT equal.
The object produced via this method has a zone of DateTimeZone.forOffsetHours(2).
The object produced via the constructor has a zone of DateTimeZone.getDefault().

by returning this.toInterval in interface ReadableIntervaltoInterval in class AbstractIntervalthispublic Interval overlap(ReadableInterval interval)
Intervals are inclusive of the start instant and exclusive of the end. An interval overlaps another if it shares some common part of the datetime continuum. This method returns the amount of the overlap, only if the intervals actually do overlap. If the intervals do not overlap, then null is returned.
When two intervals are compared the result is one of three states: (a) they abut, (b) there is a gap between them, (c) they overlap. The abuts state takes precedence over the other two, thus a zero duration interval at the start of a larger interval abuts and does not overlap.
The chronology of the returned interval is the same as that of this interval (the chronology of the interval parameter is not used). Note that the use of the chronology was only correctly implemented in version 1.3.
interval - the interval to examine, null means nowpublic Interval gap(ReadableInterval interval)
Intervals are inclusive of the start instant and exclusive of the end. An interval has a gap to another interval if there is a non-zero duration between them. This method returns the amount of the gap only if the intervals do actually have a gap between them. If the intervals overlap or abut, then null is returned.
When two intervals are compared the result is one of three states: (a) they abut, (b) there is a gap between them, (c) they overlap. The abuts state takes precedence over the other two, thus a zero duration interval at the start of a larger interval abuts and does not overlap.

interval - the interval to examine, null means nowpublic boolean abuts(ReadableInterval interval)
Intervals are inclusive of the start instant and exclusive of the end. An interval abuts if it starts immediately after, or ends immediately before this interval without overlap. A zero duration interval abuts with itself.
When two intervals are compared the result is one of three states: (a) they abut, (b) there is a gap between them, (c) they overlap. The abuts state takes precedence over the other two, thus a zero duration interval at the start of a larger interval abuts and does not overlap.
For example:
