Create a format that points its parseObject method to one implementation and its format method to another.
Params:
  • parser – implementation
  • formatter – implementation

Uses the formatter Format instance.
Params:

  • toAppendTo – the StringBuffer to append to
  • pos – the FieldPosition to use (or ignore).
See Also:
Returns:toAppendTo
/** * Uses the formatter Format instance. * * @param obj the object to format * @param toAppendTo the {@link StringBuffer} to append to * @param pos the FieldPosition to use (or ignore). * @return <code>toAppendTo</code> * @see Format#format(Object, StringBuffer, FieldPosition) */

Uses the parser Format instance.
Params:

  • pos – the ParsePosition containing the position to parse from, will be updated according to parsing success (index) or failure (error index)
