Remarks

This class models a single instantaneous point on the time-line, such as an event timestamp.

An instant stores epoch-seconds and a nanosecond-of-second. Epoch-seconds are measured from the standard Java epoch of 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z; later instants have positive values and earlier instants have negative values.

The Java Time-Scale divides each calendar day into exactly 86,400 subdivisions, known as seconds. It closely matches the civil time scale and has different definitions for different segments of the time-line.

Each Java Time-Scale segment must meet these requirements:

  • The Java Time-Scale closely matches the underlying international civil time scale.:
  • The Java Time-Scale exactly matches the international civil time scale at noon each day.:
  • The Java Time-Scale has a precisely defined relationship to the international civil time scale.:

This value-based class treats equal instances as interchangeable. Do not use instances for synchronization; use Equals for comparisons.
