Provides utilities for working with the Formattable interface.

The Formattable interface provides basic control over formatting when using a Formatter. It is primarily concerned with numeric precision and padding, and is not designed to allow generalised alternate formats.

Since:3.0
Deprecated:as of 3.6, use commons-text FormattableUtils instead
