java 时间对象,Java中的时间对象是什么？

I was exploring TemporalQuery and TemporalAccessor introduced in Java 8. TemporalAccessor seems to be specially designed for temporal objects such as date, time, offset or some combination of these . What are temporal objects?

Some googling gave its meaning as

An object that changes over time

But not able to relate this in the context of Java?

According to with Joda-Time & JSR 310, Problems, Concepts and Approaches [PDF], the TemporalAccessor:

Defines read-only access to a temporal object,

such as a date, time, offset or some combination

of these

Fields and units work together with the abstractions Temporal and TemporalAccessor provide access to date-time classes in a generic manner.

All classes in the API that specify some kind of date, time, or both are TemporalAccesor. LocalDate, LocalTime, LocalDateTime, and ZoneDateTime are some examples of TemporalAccesor.

The next is a example code (based from some examples in the previous book):

public static boolean isFriday13(TemporalAccessor ta) {

if (ta.isSupported(DAY_OF_MONTH) && ta.isSupported(DAY_OF_WEEK)) {

int dayOfMonth = ta.get(DAY_OF_MONTH);

int weekDay = ta.get(DAY_OF_WEEK);

DayOfWeek dayOfWeek = DayOfWeek.of(weekDay);

if (dayOfMonth == 13 && dayOfWeek == FRIDAY) {

return true;

}

}

return false;

}

public static void main(String[] args) {

DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("MM/dd/yyyy");

TemporalAccessor ta = formatter.parse("02/13/2015");

LocalDate ld = LocalDate.from(ta);

System.out.println(ld);

System.out.println(isFriday13(ld));

}
