/**

 * <p>

 * Provides classes to print and parse dates and times.

 * </p>

 * <p>

 * Printing and parsing is based around the

 * {@link java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter DateTimeFormatter} class.

 * Instances are generally obtained from

 * {@link java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter DateTimeFormatter}, however

 * {@link java.time.format.DateTimeFormatterBuilder DateTimeFormatterBuilder}

 * can be used if more power is needed.

 * </p>

 * <p>

 * Localization occurs by calling

 * {@link java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter#withLocale(java.util.Locale) withLocale(Locale)}

 * on the formatter. Further customization is possible using

 * {@link java.time.format.DecimalStyle DecimalStyle}.

 * </p>

 *

 * <h2>Package specification</h2>

 * <p>

 * Unless otherwise noted, passing a null argument to a constructor or method in any class or interface

 * in this package will cause a {@link java.lang.NullPointerException NullPointerException} to be thrown.

 * The Javadoc "@param" definition is used to summarise the null-behavior.

 * The "@throws {@link java.lang.NullPointerException}" is not explicitly documented in each method.

 * </p>

 * <p>

 * All calculations should check for numeric overflow and throw either an {@link java.lang.ArithmeticException}

 * or a {@link java.time.DateTimeException}.

 * </p>

 * @since 1.8
