ChronoZonedDateTime (Java Platform SE 8 )

Type Parameters:

D - the concrete type for the date of this date-time

All Superinterfaces:

Comparable<ChronoZonedDateTime<?>>, Temporal, TemporalAccessor

All Known Implementing Classes:

ZonedDateTime
```
public interface ChronoZonedDateTime<D extends ChronoLocalDate>
extends Temporal, Comparable<ChronoZonedDateTime<?>>
```
A date-time with a time-zone in an arbitrary chronology, intended for advanced globalization use cases.
Most applications should declare method signatures, fields and variables as ZonedDateTime, not this interface.
A ChronoZonedDateTime is the abstract representation of an offset date-time where the Chronology chronology, or calendar system, is pluggable. The date-time is defined in terms of fields expressed by TemporalField, where most common implementations are defined in ChronoField. The chronology defines how the calendar system operates and the meaning of the standard fields.
When to use this interface
The design of the API encourages the use of ZonedDateTime rather than this interface, even in the case where the application needs to deal with multiple calendar systems. The rationale for this is explored in detail in ChronoLocalDate.
Ensure that the discussion in ChronoLocalDate has been read and understood before using this interface.

Implementation Requirements:

This interface must be implemented with care to ensure other classes operate correctly. All implementations that can be instantiated must be final, immutable and thread-safe. Subclasses should be Serializable wherever possible.
