```
public final class Duration
extends BaseDuration
implements ReadableDuration, java.io.Serializable
```
An immutable duration specifying a length of time in milliseconds.
A duration is defined by a fixed number of milliseconds. There is no concept of fields, such as days or seconds, as these fields can vary in length.
A duration may be converted to a Period to obtain field values. This conversion will typically cause a loss of precision.
Duration is thread-safe and immutable.
