| Summary : Java Units of Measure
|
Description :
Units of Measure API specifies one or more Java packages for
the programmatic handling of physical quantities and their
expression as numbers of units. The specification includes:
* Interfaces and abstract classes with methods for unit
operations:
o Checking of unit compatibility
o Expression of a quantity in various units
o Arithmetic operations on units
o Concrete classes implementing the standard types of units
(such as base, supplementary, and derived) and unit
conversions.
* Classes for parsing unit specifications in string form and
for formatting string representations of quantities.
* A database of predefined units.
Developers frequently encounter the need to model units of
measure, because objects in the real world are subject to
these measures. When working with units, developers need to
understand the mathematics of units, how to convert between
systems, and how to format and parse string representations
of units. Most of this work can be consolidated into one or
two Java packages, which is a primary aim of this JSR. This
package will help developers create safe, correct software
to deal with common problem of modeling units.
