| AttributedCharacterIterator | 
          Extends the
 CharacterIterator interface, adding support for iterating over
 attributes and not only characters. 
          
    
         | 
      
| CharacterIterator | An interface for the bidirectional iteration over a group of characters. | 
| Annotation | Wrapper for a text attribute value which represents an annotation. | 
| AttributedCharacterIterator.Attribute | Defines keys for text attributes. | 
| AttributedString | Holds a string with attributes describing the characters of this string. | 
| Bidi | Implements the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm. | 
| BreakIterator | Locates boundaries in text. | 
| ChoiceFormat | Returns a fixed string based on a numeric value. | 
| CollationElementIterator | 
          Created by a RuleBasedCollator to iterate through a string. 
          
    
         | 
      
| CollationKey | 
          Represents a string under the rules of a specific Collator object. 
          
    
         | 
      
| Collator | Performs locale-sensitive string comparison. | 
| DateFormat | Formats or parses dates and times. | 
| DateFormat.Field | 
          The instances of this inner class are used as attribute keys and values
 in AttributedCharacterIterator that the
 formatToCharacterIterator(Object) method returns. 
          
    
         | 
      
| DateFormatSymbols | Encapsulates localized 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 | 
          A concrete subclass of NumberFormat that formats decimal numbers. 
          
    
         | 
      
| DecimalFormatSymbols | 
          Encapsulates the set of symbols (such as the decimal separator, the grouping
 separator, and so on) needed by DecimalFormat to format numbers. 
          
    
         | 
      
| FieldPosition | Identifies fields in formatted strings. | 
| Format | The base class for all formats. | 
| Format.Field | 
          Inner class used to represent Format attributes in the
 AttributedCharacterIterator that the
 formatToCharacterIterator() method returns in Format
 subclasses. 
          
    
         | 
      
| MessageFormat | Produces concatenated messages in language-neutral way. | 
| MessageFormat.Field | 
          The instances of this inner class are used as attribute keys in
 AttributedCharacterIterator that the
 formatToCharacterIterator(Object) method returns. 
          
    
         | 
      
| Normalizer | Provides normalization functions according to Unicode Standard Annex #15: Unicode Normalization Forms. | 
| NumberFormat | The abstract base class for all number formats. | 
| NumberFormat.Field | 
          The instances of this inner class are used as attribute keys and values
 in AttributedCharacterIterator that the
 formatToCharacterIterator(Object) method returns. 
          
    
         | 
      
| ParsePosition | Tracks the current position in a parsed string. | 
| RuleBasedCollator | 
          A concrete subclass of Collator. 
          
    
         | 
      
| SimpleDateFormat | Formats and parses dates in a locale-sensitive manner. | 
| StringCharacterIterator | 
          An implementation of CharacterIterator for strings. 
          
    
         | 
      
| Normalizer.Form | The normalization forms supported by the Normalizer. | 
| ParseException | Thrown when the string being parsed is not in the correct form. |
