    64  * <p>
       
    65  * Generic API for calendar systems other than the default ISO.
       
    66  * </p>
       
    67  * <p>
       
    68  * The main API is based around the calendar system defined in ISO-8601.
       
    69  * However, there are other calendar systems, and this package provides basic support for them.
       
    70  * The alternate calendars are provided in the {@link java.time.chrono} package.
       
    71  * </p>
       
    72  * <p>
       
    73  * A calendar system is defined by the {@link java.time.chrono.Chronology} interface,
       
    74  * while a date in a calendar system is defined by the {@link java.time.chrono.ChronoLocalDate} interface.
       
    75  * </p>
       
    76  * <p>
       
    77  * It is intended that applications use the main API whenever possible, including code to read and write
       
    78  * from a persistent data store, such as a database, and to send dates and times across a network.
       
    79  * The "chrono" classes are then used at the user interface level to deal with localized input/output.
       
    80  * See {@link java.time.chrono.ChronoLocalDate ChronoLocalDate}
       
    81  * for a full discussion of the issues.
       
    82  * </p>
       
    83  * <p>
       
    84  * Using non-ISO calendar systems in an application introduces significant extra complexity.
       
    85  * Ensure that the warnings and recommendations in {@code ChronoLocalDate} have been read before
       
    86  * working with the "chrono" interfaces.
       
    87  * </p>
       
    88  * <p>
       
    89  * The supported calendar systems includes:

   100  * This example lists todays date for all of the available calendars.

   102  * <pre>
       
   103  *   // Enumerate the list of available calendars and print todays date for each.
