- Class Summary
  Class | Description
  --- | ---
  Annotation | An Annotation object is used as a wrapper for a text attribute value if the attribute has annotation characteristics.
  AttributedCharacterIterator.Attribute | Defines attribute keys that are used to identify text attributes.
  AttributedString | An AttributedString holds text and related attribute information.
  ChoiceFormat | A `ChoiceFormat` allows you to attach a format to a range of numbers.
  DateFormat | `DateFormat` is an abstract class for date/time formatting subclasses which formats and parses dates or time in a language-independent manner.
  DateFormat.Field | Defines constants that are used as attribute keys in the `AttributedCharacterIterator` returned from `DateFormat.formatToCharacterIterator` and as field identifiers in `FieldPosition`.
  DateFormatSymbols | `DateFormatSymbols` is a public class for encapsulating localizable date-time formatting data, such as the names of the months, the names of the days of the week, and the time zone data.
  DecimalFormat | `DecimalFormat` is a concrete subclass of `NumberFormat` that formats decimal numbers.
  DecimalFormatSymbols | This class represents the set of symbols (such as the decimal separator, the grouping separator, and so on) needed by `DecimalFormat` to format numbers.
  FieldPosition | `FieldPosition` is a simple class used by `Format` and its subclasses to identify fields in formatted output.
  Format | `Format` is an abstract base class for formatting locale-sensitive information such as dates, messages, and numbers.
  Format.Field | Defines constants that are used as attribute keys in the `AttributedCharacterIterator` returned from `Format.formatToCharacterIterator` and as field identifiers in `FieldPosition`.
  MessageFormat | `MessageFormat` provides a means to produce concatenated messages in a language-neutral way.
  MessageFormat.Field | Defines constants that are used as attribute keys in the `AttributedCharacterIterator` returned from `MessageFormat.formatToCharacterIterator`.
  NumberFormat | `NumberFormat` is the abstract base class for all number formats.
  NumberFormat.Field | Defines constants that are used as attribute keys in the `AttributedCharacterIterator` returned from `NumberFormat.formatToCharacterIterator` and as field identifiers in `FieldPosition`.
  ParsePosition | `ParsePosition` is a simple class used by `Format` and its subclasses to keep track of the current position during parsing.
  SimpleDateFormat | `SimpleDateFormat` is a concrete class for formatting and parsing dates in a locale-sensitive manner.
