public final class LocalDate extends Object implements Temporal, TemporalAdjuster, ChronoLocalDate, Serializable
2007-12-03
.
LocalDate
is an immutable date-time object that represents a date,
often viewed as year-month-day. Other date fields, such as day-of-year,
day-of-week and week-of-year, can also be accessed.
For example, the value "2nd October 2007" can be stored in a LocalDate
.
This class does not store or represent a time or time-zone. Instead, it is a description of the date, as used for birthdays. It cannot represent an instant on the time-line without additional information such as an offset or time-zone.
The ISO-8601 calendar system is the modern civil calendar system used today in most of the world. It is equivalent to the proleptic Gregorian calendar system, in which today's rules for leap years are applied for all time. For most applications written today, the ISO-8601 rules are entirely suitable. However, any application that makes use of historical dates, and requires them to be accurate will find the ISO-8601 approach unsuitable.
This is a value-based
class; use of identity-sensitive operations (including reference equality
(==
), identity hash code, or synchronization) on instances of
LocalDate
may have unpredictable results and should be avoided.
The equals
method should be used for comparisons.
This class is immutable and thread-safe.

public static final LocalDate MAX
LocalDate
, '+999999999-12-31'.
This could be used by an application as a "far future" date.public static final LocalDate MIN
LocalDate
, '-999999999-01-01'.
This could be used by an application as a "far past" date.public Temporal adjustInto(Temporal temporal)
This returns a temporal object of the same observable type as the input with the date changed to be the same as this.
The adjustment is equivalent to using Temporal.with(TemporalField, long)
passing ChronoField.EPOCH_DAY
as the field.
In most cases, it is clearer to reverse the calling pattern by using
Temporal.with(TemporalAdjuster)
:
// these two lines are equivalent, but the second approach is recommended temporal = thisLocalDate.adjustInto(temporal); temporal = temporal.with(thisLocalDate);
This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

LocalDateTime
at the start of this date.
This returns a LocalDateTime
formed from this date at the time of
midnight, 00:00, at the start of this date.
public ZonedDateTime atStartOfDay(ZoneId zone)
Time-zone rules, such as daylight savings, mean that not every local date-time is valid for the specified zone, thus the local date-time may not be midnight.
In most cases, there is only one valid offset for a local date-time. In the case of an overlap, there are two valid offsets, and the earlier one is used, corresponding to the first occurrence of midnight on the date. In the case of a gap, the zoned date-time will represent the instant just after the gap.
If the zone ID is a ZoneOffset
, then the result always has a time of midnight.
To convert to a specific time in a given time-zone call atTime(LocalTime)
followed by LocalDateTime.atZone(ZoneId)
.
zone

The comparison is primarily based on the date, from earliest to latest.
It is "consistent with equals", as defined by Comparable
.
If all the dates being compared are instances of LocalDate
,
then the comparison will be entirely based on the date.
If some dates being compared are in different chronologies, then the
chronology is also considered, see ChronoLocalDate.compareTo(java.time.chrono.ChronoLocalDate)
.

Compares this LocalDate
with another ensuring that the date is the same.
Only objects of type LocalDate
are compared, other types return false.
To compare the dates of two TemporalAccessor
instances, including dates
in two different chronologies, use ChronoField.EPOCH_DAY
as a comparator.

public static LocalDate from(TemporalAccessor temporal)
LocalDate
from a temporal object.
This obtains a local date based on the specified temporal.
A TemporalAccessor
represents an arbitrary set of date and time information,
which this factory converts to an instance of LocalDate
.
The conversion uses the TemporalQueries.localDate()
query, which relies
on extracting the EPOCH_DAY
field.
This method matches the signature of the functional interface TemporalQuery
allowing it to be used as a query via method reference, LocalDate::from
.
temporal
- the temporal object to convert, not nullDateTimeException

public int get(TemporalField field)
int
.
This queries this date for the value of the specified field. The returned value will always be within the valid range of values for the field. If it is not possible to return the value, because the field is not supported or for some other reason, an exception is thrown.
If the field is a ChronoField
then the query is implemented here.
The supported fields
will return valid
values based on this date, except EPOCH_DAY
and PROLEPTIC_MONTH
which are too large to fit in an int
and throw a DateTimeException
.
All other ChronoField
instances will throw an UnsupportedTemporalTypeException
.
If the field is not a ChronoField
, then the result of this method
is obtained by invoking TemporalField.getFrom(TemporalAccessor)
passing this
as the argument. Whether the value can be obtained,
and what the value represents, is determined by the field.

public IsoChronology getChronology()
The Chronology
represents the calendar system in use.
The ISO-8601 calendar system is the modern civil calendar system used today
in most of the world. It is equivalent to the proleptic Gregorian calendar
system, in which today's rules for leap years are applied for all time.
getChronology
in interface ChronoLocalDate
public int getDayOfMonth()
This method returns the primitive int
value for the day-of-month.
public DayOfWeek getDayOfWeek()
DayOfWeek
.
This method returns the enum DayOfWeek
for the day-of-week.
This avoids confusion as to what int
values mean.
If you need access to the primitive int
value then the enum
provides the int value
.
Additional information can be obtained from the DayOfWeek
.
This includes textual names of the values.
public int getDayOfYear()
This method returns the primitive int
value for the day-of-year.
public Era getEra()
The official ISO-8601 standard does not define eras, however IsoChronology
does.
It defines two eras, 'CE' from year one onwards and 'BCE' from year zero backwards.
Since dates before the Julian-Gregorian cutover are not in line with history,
the cutover between 'BCE' and 'CE' is also not aligned with the commonly used
eras, often referred to using 'BC' and 'AD'.
Users of this class should typically ignore this method as it exists primarily
to fulfill the ChronoLocalDate
contract where it is necessary to support
the Japanese calendar system.
The returned era will be a singleton capable of being compared with the constants
in IsoChronology
using the ==
operator.

This queries this date for the value of the specified field. If it is not possible to return the value, because the field is not supported or for some other reason, an exception is thrown.
If the field is a ChronoField
then the query is implemented here.
The supported fields
will return valid
values based on this date.
All other ChronoField
instances will throw an UnsupportedTemporalTypeException
.
If the field is not a ChronoField
, then the result of this method
is obtained by invoking TemporalField.getFrom(TemporalAccessor)

This method returns the enum Month
for the month.
This avoids confusion as to what int
values mean.
If you need access to the primitive int
value then the enum
provides the int value
.
getMonthValue()
public int getMonthValue()
This method returns the month as an int
from 1 to 12.
Application code is frequently clearer if the enum Month
is used by calling getMonth()
.
getMonth()
public int getYear()
This method returns the primitive int
value for the year.
The year returned by this method is proleptic as per get(YEAR)
.
To obtain the year-of-era, use get(YEAR_OF_ERA)
.

This method only considers the position of the two dates on the local time-line.
It does not take into account the chronology, or calendar system.
This is different from the comparison in compareTo(ChronoLocalDate)
,
but is the same approach as timeLineOrder()
.

This method only considers the position of the two dates on the local time-line.
It does not take into account the chronology, or calendar system.
This is different from the comparison in compareTo(ChronoLocalDate)
but is the same approach as timeLineOrder()
.
isEqual

This method applies the current rules for leap years across the whole time-line. In general, a year is a leap year if it is divisible by four without remainder. However, years divisible by 100, are not leap years, with the exception of years divisible by 400 which are.
For example, 1904 is a leap year it is divisible by 4. 1900 was not a leap year as it is divisible by 100, however 2000 was a leap year as it is divisible by 400.
The calculation is proleptic - applying the same rules into the far future and far past. This is historically inaccurate, but is correct for the ISO-8601 standard.

The amount is typically Period
but may be any other type implementing
the TemporalAmount
interface.
The calculation is delegated to the amount object by calling
TemporalAmount.subtractFrom(Temporal)
. The amount implementation is free
to implement the subtraction in any way it wishes, however it typically
calls back to minus(long, TemporalUnit)
. Consult the documentation

with the specified number of days subtracted.
This method subtracts the specified amount from the days field decrementing the month and year fields as necessary to ensure the result remains valid. The result is only invalid if the maximum/minimum year is exceeded.
For example, 2009-01-01 minus one day would result in 2008-12-31.

This method subtracts the specified amount from the months field in three steps:
For example, 2007-03-31 minus one month would result in the invalid date 2007-02-31. Instead of returning an invalid result, the last valid day of the month, 2007-02-28, is selected instead.

This returns a LocalDate
with the specified year and day-of-year.
The day-of-year must be valid for the year, otherwise an exception will be thrown.

This returns a LocalDate
, based on this one, with the amount
in terms of the unit added. If it is not possible to add the amount, because the
unit is not supported or for some other reason, an exception is thrown.
In some cases, adding the amount can cause the resulting date to become invalid. For example, adding one month to 31st January would result in 31st February. In cases like this, the unit is responsible for resolving the date. Typically it will choose the previous valid date, which would be the last valid day of February in this example.
If the field is a ChronoUnit
then the addition is implemented here.
The supported fields behave as follows:
DAYS
-
Returns a LocalDate
with the specified number of days added.
This is equivalent to plusDays(long)
.
WEEKS
-
Returns a LocalDate
with the specified number of weeks added.
This is equivalent to plusWeeks(long)
and uses a 7 day week.
MONTHS
-
Returns a LocalDate
with the specified number of months added.
This is equivalent to plusMonths(long)
.
The day-of-month will be unchanged unless it would be invalid for the new
month and year. In that case, the day-of-month is adjusted to the maximum
valid value for the new month and year.
YEARS
-
Returns a LocalDate
with the specified number of years added.
This is equivalent to plusYears(long)
.
The day-of-month will be unchanged unless it would be invalid for the new
month and year. In that case, the day-of-month is adjusted to the maximum
valid value for the new month and year.
DECADES
-
Returns a LocalDate
with the specified number of decades added.
This is equivalent to calling plusYears(long)
with the amount
multiplied by 10.
The day-of-month will be unchanged unless it would be invalid for the new
month and year. In that case, the day-of-month is adjusted to the maximum
valid value for the new month and year.
CENTURIES
-
Returns a LocalDate
with the specified number of centuries added.
This is equivalent to calling plusYears(long)
with the amount
multiplied by 100.
The day-of-month will be unchanged unless it would be invalid for the new
month and year. In that case, the day-of-month is adjusted to the maximum
valid value for the new month and year.
MILLENNIA
-
Returns a LocalDate
with the specified number of millennia added.
This is equivalent to calling plusYears(long)
with the amount
multiplied by 1,000.
The day-of-month will be unchanged unless it would be invalid for the new
month and year. In that case, the day-of-month is adjusted to the maximum
valid value for the new month and year.
ERAS
-
Returns a LocalDate
with the specified number of eras added.
Only two eras are supported so the amount must be one, zero or minus one.
If the amount is non-zero then the year is changed such that the year-of-era
is unchanged.
The day-of-month will be unchanged unless it would be invalid for the new
month and year. In that case, the day-of-month is adjusted to the maximum
valid value for the new month and year.
All other ChronoUnit
instances will throw an UnsupportedTemporalTypeException
.
If the field is not a ChronoUnit
, then the result of this method
is obtained by invoking TemporalUnit.addTo(Temporal, long)

The amount is typically Period
but may be any other type implementing
the TemporalAmount
interface.
The calculation is delegated to the amount object by calling
TemporalAmount.addTo(Temporal)
. The amount implementation is free
to implement the addition in any way it wishes, however it typically
calls back to plus(long, TemporalUnit)
. Consult the documentation
of the amount implementation to determine if it can be successfully added.

LocalDate
with the specified number of days added.
This method adds the specified amount to the days field incrementing the month and year fields as necessary to ensure the result remains valid. The result is only invalid if the maximum/minimum year is exceeded.
For example, 2008-12-31 plus one day would result in 2009-01-01.
This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.
daysToAdd
- the days to add, may be negativeLocalDate
based on this date with the days added, not nullDateTimeException
- if the result exceeds the supported date rangepublic LocalDate plusMonths(long monthsToAdd)
LocalDate
with the specified number of months added.
This method adds the specified amount to the months field in three steps:
For example, 2007-03-31 plus one month would result in the invalid date 2007-04-31. Instead of returning an invalid result, the last valid day of the month, 2007-04-30, is selected instead.
This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.
monthsToAdd
- the months to add, may be negativeLocalDate
based on this date with the months added, not nullDateTimeException
- if the result exceeds the supported date rangepublic LocalDate plusWeeks(long weeksToAdd)
LocalDate
with the specified number of weeks added.
This method adds the specified amount in weeks to the days field incrementing the month and year fields as necessary to ensure the result remains valid. The result is only invalid if the maximum/minimum year is exceeded.
For example, 2008-12-31 plus one week would result in 2009-01-07.
This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.
weeksToAdd
- the weeks to add, may be negativeLocalDate
based on this date with the weeks added, not nullDateTimeException
- if the result exceeds the supported date rangepublic LocalDate plusYears(long yearsToAdd)
LocalDate
with the specified number of years added.
This method adds the specified amount to the years field in three steps:
For example, 2008-02-29 (leap year) plus one year would result in the invalid date 2009-02-29 (standard year). Instead of returning an invalid result, the last valid day of the month, 2009-02-28, is selected instead.

This queries this date using the specified query strategy object.
The TemporalQuery
object defines the logic to be used to
obtain the result. Read the documentation of the query to understand
what the result of this method will be.
The result of this method is obtained by invoking the
TemporalQuery.queryFrom(TemporalAccessor)
method on the
specified query passing this
as the argument.

The range object expresses the minimum and maximum valid values for a field. This date is used to enhance the accuracy of the returned range. If it is not possible to return the range, because the field is not supported or for some other reason, an exception is thrown.
If the field is a ChronoField
then the query is implemented here.
The supported fields
will return
appropriate range instances.
All other ChronoField
instances will throw an UnsupportedTemporalTypeException
.
If the field is not a ChronoField
, then the result of this method
is obtained by invoking TemporalField.rangeRefinedBy(TemporalAccessor)

time-line order ignoring the chronology.
This comparator differs from the comparison in compareTo(java.time.chrono.ChronoLocalDate)
in that it
only compares the underlying date and not the chronology.
This allows dates in different calendar systems to be compared based
on the position of the date on the local time-line.
The underlying comparison is equivalent to comparing the epoch-day.

ChronoLocalDate
The Epoch Day count
is a simple
incrementing count of days where day 0 is 1970-01-01 (ISO).
This definition is the same for all chronologies, enabling conversion.
This default implementation queries the EPOCH_DAY
field.

public Period until(ChronoLocalDate endDateExclusive)
Period
.
This calculates the period between two dates in terms of years, months and days.
The start and end points are this
and the specified date.
The result will be negative if the end is before the start.
The negative sign will be the same in each of year, month and day.
The calculation is performed using the ISO calendar system. If necessary, the input date will be converted to ISO.
The start date is included, but the end date is not.
The period is calculated by removing complete months, then calculating
the remaining number of days, adjusting to ensure that both have the same sign.
The number of months is then normalized into years and months based on a 12 month year.
A month is considered to be complete if the end day-of-month is greater
than or equal to the start day-of-month.
For example, from 2010-01-15
to 2011-03-18
is "1 year, 2 months and 3 days".
There are two equivalent ways of using this method.
The first is to invoke this method.
The second is to use Period.between(LocalDate, LocalDate)
:
// these two lines are equivalent period = start.until(end); period = Period.between(start, end);The choice should be made based on which makes the code more readable.
until
in interface ChronoLocalDate
endDateExclusive
- the end date, exclusive, which may be in any chronology, not nullpublic long until(Temporal endExclusive, TemporalUnit unit)
This calculates the amount of time between two LocalDate
objects in terms of a single TemporalUnit
.
The start and end points are this
and the specified date.
The result will be negative if the end is before the start.
The Temporal
passed to this method is converted to a
LocalDate
using from(TemporalAccessor)
.
For example, the amount in days between two dates can be calculated
using startDate.until(endDate, DAYS)
.
The calculation returns a whole number, representing the number of complete units between the two dates. For example, the amount in months between 2012-06-15 and 2012-08-14 will only be one month as it is one day short of two months.
There are two equivalent ways of using this method.
The first is to invoke this method.
The second is to use TemporalUnit.between(Temporal, Temporal)
:
// these two lines are equivalent amount = start.until(end, MONTHS); amount = MONTHS.between(start, end);The choice should be made based on which makes the code more readable.
The calculation is implemented in this method for ChronoUnit
.
The units DAYS

are supported. Other ChronoUnit
values will throw an exception.
If the unit is not a ChronoUnit
, then the result of this method
is obtained by invoking TemporalUnit.between(Temporal, Temporal)

This returns a LocalDate
, based on this one, with the date adjusted.
The adjustment takes place using the specified adjuster strategy object.
Read the documentation of the adjuster to understand what adjustment will be made.
A simple adjuster might simply set the one of the fields, such as the year field. A more complex adjuster might set the date to the last day of the month.
A selection of common adjustments is provided in
TemporalAdjusters
.
These include finding the "last day of the month" and "next Wednesday".
Key date-time classes also implement the TemporalAdjuster
interface,
such as Month
and MonthDay
.
The adjuster is responsible for handling special cases, such as the varying
lengths of month and leap years.
For example this code returns a date on the last day of July:
import static java.time.Month.*; import static java.time.temporal.TemporalAdjusters.*; result = localDate.with(JULY).with(lastDayOfMonth());
The result of this method is obtained by invoking the
TemporalAdjuster.adjustInto(Temporal)
method on the
specified adjuster passing this
as the argument.
This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

adjuster
- the adjuster to use, not nullLocalDate
based on this
with the adjustment made, not nullDateTimeException
- if the adjustment cannot be madepublic LocalDate with(TemporalField field, long newValue)
This returns a LocalDate
, based on this one, with the value
for the specified field changed.
This can be used to change any supported field, such as the year, month or day-of-month.
If it is not possible to set the value, because the field is not supported or for
some other reason, an exception is thrown.
In some cases, changing the specified field can cause the resulting date to become invalid, such as changing the month from 31st January to February would make the day-of-month invalid. In cases like this, the field is responsible for resolving the date. Typically it will choose the previous valid date, which would be the last valid day of February in this example.
If the field is a ChronoField
then the adjustment is implemented here.
The supported fields behave as follows:
DAY_OF_WEEK
-
Returns a LocalDate
with the specified day-of-week.
The date is adjusted up to 6 days forward or backward within the boundary
of a Monday to Sunday week.
ALIGNED_DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH
-
Returns a LocalDate
with the specified aligned-day-of-week.
The date is adjusted to the specified month-based aligned-day-of-week.
Aligned weeks are counted such that the first week of a given month starts
on the first day of that month.
This may cause the date to be moved up to 6 days into the following month.
ALIGNED_DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_YEAR
-
Returns a LocalDate
with the specified aligned-day-of-week.
The date is adjusted to the specified year-based aligned-day-of-week.
Aligned weeks are counted such that the first week of a given year starts
on the first day of that year.
This may cause the date to be moved up to 6 days into the following year.
DAY_OF_MONTH
-
Returns a LocalDate
with the specified day-of-month.
The month and year will be unchanged. If the day-of-month is invalid for the
year and month, then a DateTimeException
is thrown.
DAY_OF_YEAR
-
Returns a LocalDate
with the specified day-of-year.
The year will be unchanged. If the day-of-year is invalid for the
year, then a DateTimeException
is thrown.
EPOCH_DAY
-
Returns a LocalDate
with the specified epoch-day.
This completely replaces the date and is equivalent to ofEpochDay(long)
.
ALIGNED_WEEK_OF_MONTH
-
Returns a LocalDate
with the specified aligned-week-of-month.
Aligned weeks are counted such that the first week of a given month starts
on the first day of that month.
This adjustment moves the date in whole week chunks to match the specified week.
The result will have the same day-of-week as this date.
This may cause the date to be moved into the following month.
ALIGNED_WEEK_OF_YEAR
-
Returns a LocalDate
with the specified aligned-week-of-year.
Aligned weeks are counted such that the first week of a given year starts
on the first day of that year.
This adjustment moves the date in whole week chunks to match the specified week.
The result will have the same day-of-week as this date.
This may cause the date to be moved into the following year.
MONTH_OF_YEAR
-
Returns a LocalDate
with the specified month-of-year.
The year will be unchanged. The day-of-month will also be unchanged,
unless it would be invalid for the new month and year. In that case, the
day-of-month is adjusted to the maximum valid value for the new month and year.
PROLEPTIC_MONTH
-
Returns a LocalDate
with the specified proleptic-month.
The day-of-month will be unchanged, unless it would be invalid for the new month
and year. In that case, the day-of-month is adjusted to the maximum valid value
for the new month and year.
YEAR_OF_ERA
-
Returns a LocalDate
with the specified year-of-era.
The era and month will be unchanged. The day-of-month will also be unchanged,
unless it would be invalid for the new month and year. In that case, the
day-of-month is adjusted to the maximum valid value for the new month and year.
YEAR
-
Returns a LocalDate
with the specified year.
The month will be unchanged. The day-of-month will also be unchanged,
unless it would be invalid for the new month and year. In that case, the
day-of-month is adjusted to the maximum valid value for the new month and year.
ERA
-
Returns a LocalDate
with the specified era.
The year-of-era and month will be unchanged. The day-of-month will also be unchanged,
unless it would be invalid for the new month and year. In that case, the
day-of-month is adjusted to the maximum valid value for the new month and year.
In all cases, if the new value is outside the valid range of values for the field
then a DateTimeException
will be thrown.
All other ChronoField
instances will throw an UnsupportedTemporalTypeException
.
If the field is not a ChronoField
