## Interface DateTimeFormatInfo

- All Known Subinterfaces:
    DateTimeFormatInfo
  All Known Implementing Classes:
    DateTimeFormatInfoAdapter, DefaultDateTimeFormatInfo, DefaultDateTimeFormatInfo

      public interface DateTimeFormatInfo

  Information required for formatting and parsing localized date/time values.

  Implementors should subclass `DefaultDateTimeFormatInfo` so when methods are added they will get reasonable defaults and not break. See the same class for example values returned by these methods.
