Class Summary

Class	Description
AssembledChronology	Abstract Chronology that enables chronologies to be assembled from a container of fields.
AssembledChronology.Fields	A container of fields used for assembling a chronology.
BaseChronology	BaseChronology provides a skeleton implementation for chronology classes.
BuddhistChronology	A chronology that matches the BuddhistCalendar class supplied by Sun.
CopticChronology	Implements the Coptic calendar system, which defines every fourth year as leap, much like the Julian calendar.
EthiopicChronology	Implements the Ethiopic calendar system, which defines every fourth year as leap, much like the Julian calendar.
GJChronology	Implements the Gregorian/Julian calendar system which is the calendar system used in most of the world.
GregorianChronology	Implements a pure proleptic Gregorian calendar system, which defines every fourth year as leap, unless the year is divisible by 100 and not by 400.
IslamicChronology	Implements the Islamic, or Hijri, calendar system using arithmetic rules.
IslamicChronology.LeapYearPatternType	Opaque object describing a leap year pattern for the Islamic Chronology.
ISOChronology	Implements a chronology that follows the rules of the ISO8601 standard, which is compatible with Gregorian for all modern dates.
JulianChronology	Implements a pure proleptic Julian calendar system, which defines every fourth year as leap.
LenientChronology	Wraps another Chronology, ensuring all the fields are lenient.
LimitChronology	Wraps another Chronology to impose limits on the range of instants that the fields within a Chronology may support.
StrictChronology	Wraps another Chronology, ensuring all the fields are strict.
ZonedChronology	Wraps another Chronology to add support for time zones.

Package org.joda.time.chrono Description

Package containing the chronology classes which define the calendar systems.

This package contains all of the chronology implementations within the library. A chronology represents all the rules of a calendar system. Applications will create chronologies using the static factory methods on each specific Chronology class - getInstance. The currently provided chronology implementations are:

• ISO
• GJ (GregorianJulian)
• Gregorian
• Julian
• Buddhist
• Coptic
• Ethiopic
• Islamic

The package also contains all of the specialised field implementations. These classes are package scoped, along with various other chronology helper classes. The package scoped classes (which are not shown in the javadoc) do not form part of the public API of Joda-Time and may change at any time.
