- Field Detail
  - CALENDAR_TYPE
```
public static final AttributeKey<java.lang.String> CALENDAR_TYPE
```
    Attribute for the calendar type.
    
    This attribute is effectively read-only and usually derived from the corresponding annotation value of any given chronology. Default value: CalendarText.ISO_CALENDAR_TYPE
    
    See Also:
    
    CalendarType
  - LANGUAGE
```
public static final AttributeKey<java.util.Locale> LANGUAGE
```
    Attribute controlling the language output and parsing of chronological texts (for example month names).
    
    Default value: Locale.ROOT.
  - TIMEZONE_ID
```
public static final AttributeKey<TZID> TIMEZONE_ID
```
    Attribute denoting the timezone identifier for display purposes.
    
    When printing a global type this attribute controls the zonal representation. If this attribute is missing then Time4J will throw an exception because the internal timezone reference UTC+00:00 of global types is not intended to be used for display purposes.
    
    When parsing a global type this attribute serves as replacement timezone if the parsing has not recognized any timezone or offset information in the text to be parsed. If the attribute is also missing then Time4J will throw an exception.
    
    Note that before version v2.0 the behaviour of Time4J was different. When printing, the default ZonalOffset.UTC was used. When parsing, the system default timezone was used as default in case of missing attribute and lax mode.
  - TRANSITION_STRATEGY
```
public static final AttributeKey<TransitionStrategy> TRANSITION_STRATEGY
```
    Attribute for the conflict strategy to be used in resolving ambivalent or invalid local timestamps.
    
    If this attribute is missing then Time4J will assume the default conflict strategy.
    
    See Also:
    
    Timezone.DEFAULT_CONFLICT_STRATEGY
  - LENIENCY
```
public static final AttributeKey<Leniency> LENIENCY
```
    Attribute which controls the leniency in parsing.
    
    Setting of this attribute also changes other attributes:
    
    Legend
    LENIENCY PARSE_CASE_INSENSITIVE PARSE_PARTIAL_COMPARE TRAILING_CHARACTERS
    
    STRICT false false false
    
    SMART true false false
    
    LAX true true true
    
    Default value: Leniency.SMART
  - TEXT_WIDTH
```
public static final AttributeKey<TextWidth> TEXT_WIDTH
```
    Determines the text width to be used in formatting and parsing.
    
    Default value: TextWidth.WIDE
  - OUTPUT_CONTEXT
```
public static final AttributeKey<OutputContext> OUTPUT_CONTEXT
```
    Determines the output context to be used in formatting and parsing.
    
    Default value: OutputContext.FORMAT
  - PARSE_CASE_INSENSITIVE
```
public static final AttributeKey<java.lang.Boolean> PARSE_CASE_INSENSITIVE
```
    This attribute controls if the case of text is irrelevant in parsing or not.
    
    Default value: true
  - PARSE_PARTIAL_COMPARE
```
public static final AttributeKey<java.lang.Boolean> PARSE_PARTIAL_COMPARE
```
    This attribute controls if the parser will only check the start of a chronological text.
    
    Abbreviations can be parsed by help of this attribute, too. Default value: false
  - ZERO_DIGIT
```
public static final AttributeKey<java.lang.Character> ZERO_DIGIT
```
    Determines the unicode char for the zero digit..
    
    In case of changing the language setting this attribute will automatically be adjusted. Default value is the arab digit 0 in ISO-8601 (corresponding to the ASCII-value 48).
  - DECIMAL_SEPARATOR
```
public static final AttributeKey<java.lang.Character> DECIMAL_SEPARATOR
```
    Determines the unicode char for the decimal separator.
    
    In case of changing the language setting this attribute will automatically be adjusted. In ISO-8601 (for the root locale), the comma is the default value is the comma corresponding to the ASCII-value 44. With help of the boolean system property "net.time4j.format.iso.decimal.dot", the dot can be defined as alternative default value.
  - PAD_CHAR
```
public static final AttributeKey<java.lang.Character> PAD_CHAR
```
    Determines the pad char to be used if a formatted representation is shorter than specified.
    
    Default value is the space. Numerical elements are not affected by this attribute because they always use the zero digit as pad char.
  - PIVOT_YEAR
```
public static final AttributeKey<java.lang.Integer> PIVOT_YEAR
```
    Determines the pivot year for the representation of two-digit-years.
    
    Default value is the year which is 20 years after the current year. Example: If the pivot year has the value 2034 then a two-digit-year will be mapped to the range 1934-2033 such that the last two digits are equal. This attribute must have at least three digits an be positive else an exception will be thrown.
  - TRAILING_CHARACTERS
```
public static final AttributeKey<java.lang.Boolean> TRAILING_CHARACTERS
```
    Controls if any trailing unparsed characters will be tolerated or not.
    
    Example:
```
  ChronoFormatter formatter =
      ChronoFormatter.setUp(PlainTime.class, Locale.US)
      .addInteger(PlainTime.CLOCK_HOUR_OF_AMPM, 1, 2)
      .addLiteral(' ')
      .addText(PlainTime.AM_PM_OF_DAY)
      .padPrevious(3)
      .addFixedInteger(PlainTime.MINUTE_OF_HOUR, 2)
      .build()
      .with(Attributes.TRAILING_CHARACTERS, true);
  System.out.println(formatter.parse("5 PM 45xyz"));
  // Output: T17:45
 
```
    Default value: false
  - PROTECTED_CHARACTERS
```
public static final AttributeKey<java.lang.Integer> PROTECTED_CHARACTERS
```
    Determines how many remaining chars in a given text are reserved and cannot be consumed by the current format step.
    
    Default value is 0. This attribute can be used as sectional attribute if an integer element is numerically processed. Such a protected element will not consume any following chars and possibly use the default value setting of the current formatter instead.
    
    Note: This attribute overrides any reserved area due to adjacent digit parsing.
    
    Since:
    
    2.0
  - CALENDAR_VARIANT
```
public static final AttributeKey<java.lang.String> CALENDAR_VARIANT
```
    Defines an attribute key which can be used in queries for the calendar variant.
    
    Since:
    
    3.5/4.3
  - START_OF_DAY
```
public static final AttributeKey<StartOfDay> START_OF_DAY
```
    Defines an attribute key which can be used in queries for the start of day during formatting or parsing.
    
    The default value is StartOfDay.MIDNIGHT.
    
    Since:
    
    3.5/4.3
