```
public static final ValidationElement ERROR_MESSAGE
```
    Identifies an error message in any parsed chronological entity.
- Method Detail
  - values
```
public static ValidationElement[] values()
```
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
```
for (ValidationElement c : ValidationElement.values())
    System.out.println(c);
```
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static ValidationElement valueOf(java.lang.String name)
```
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
    
    Returns:
    
    the enum constant with the specified name
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    
    java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null
  - getType
```
public java.lang.Class<java.lang.String> getType()
```
    Description copied from interface: ChronoElement
    
    Yields the reified value type.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getType in interface ChronoElement<java.lang.String>
    
    Returns:
    
    type of associated values
  - getSymbol
```
public char getSymbol()
```
    Description copied from interface: ChronoElement
    
    Defines the default format symbol which is used in format patterns to refer to this element.
    
    In most cases the symbol should closely match the symbol-mapping as defined by the CLDR-standard of unicode-organization. Is the element not designed for formatting using patterns then this method just yields the ASCII-char "" (Codepoint 0).
    
    Specified by:
    
    getSymbol in interface ChronoElement<java.lang.String>
    
    Returns:
    
    format symbol as char

  - compare
```
public int compare(ChronoDisplay o1,
                   ChronoDisplay o2)
```
    Description copied from interface: ChronoElement
    
    Applies an element-orientated sorting of any chronological entities.
    
    The value type V is usually a subtype of the interface Comparable so that this method will usually be based on the expression o1.get(this).compareTo(o2.get(this)). In other words, this method compares the element values of given chronological entities. It is even permitted to compare entities of different chronological types as long as the entities both support this element.
    
    It should be noted however that a element value comparison does often not induce any temporal (complete) order. Counter examples are the year of gregorian BC-era (reversed temporal order before Jesu birth) or the clock display of hours (12 is indeed the begin at midnight).
    
    Specified by:
    
    compare in interface java.util.Comparator<ChronoDisplay>
    
    Specified by:
    
    compare in interface ChronoElement<java.lang.String>
    
    Parameters:
    
    o1 - the first object to be compared
    
    o2 - the second object to be compared
    
    Returns:
    
    a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as the first argument is less than, equal to, or greater than the second
  - getDefaultMinimum
```
public java.lang.String getDefaultMinimum()
```
    Description copied from interface: ChronoElement
    
    Returns the default minimum of this element which is not dependent on the chronological context.
    
    Note: This minimum does not necessarily define a minimum for all possible circumstances but only the default minimum under normal conditions such that the default minimum always exists and can be used as prototypical value. An example is the start of day which is usually midnight in ISO-8601 and can only deviate in specialized timezone context.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getDefaultMinimum in interface ChronoElement<java.lang.String>
    
    Returns:
    
    default minimum value of element
    
    See Also:
    
    ChronoElement.getDefaultMaximum()
  - getDefaultMaximum
```
public java.lang.String getDefaultMaximum()
```
    Description copied from interface: ChronoElement
    
    Returns the default maximum of this element which is not dependent on the chronological context.
    
    Note: This maximum does not necessarily define a maximum for all possible circumstances but only the default maximum under normal conditions. An example is the second of minute whose default maximum is 59 while the largest maximum can be 60 in context of UTC-leapseconds.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getDefaultMaximum in interface ChronoElement<java.lang.String>
    
    Returns:
    
    default maximum value of element
    
    See Also:
    
    ChronoElement.getDefaultMinimum()
  - isDateElement
```
public boolean isDateElement()
```
    Description copied from interface: ChronoElement
    
    Queries if this element represents a calendar date element.
    
    Specified by:
    
    isDateElement in interface ChronoElement<java.lang.String>
    
    Returns:
    
    boolean
    
    See Also:
    
    ChronoElement.isTimeElement()
  - isTimeElement
```
public boolean isTimeElement()
```
    Description copied from interface: ChronoElement
    
    Queries if this element represents a wall time element.
    
    Specified by:
    
    isTimeElement in interface ChronoElement<java.lang.String>
    
    Returns:
    
    boolean
    
    See Also:
    
    ChronoElement.isDateElement()
  - isLenient
```
public boolean isLenient()
```
    Description copied from interface: ChronoElement
    
    Queries if setting of element values is performed in a lenient way.
    
    Specified by:
    
    isLenient in interface ChronoElement<java.lang.String>
    
    Returns:
    
    true if lenient else false (standard)
