This coomponent provides classes that are fundamental to the design of the Framework.

Design Goals

  • Easy to use custom data types.
  • URL
  • Money
  • Units of Measure
  • Postal Codes
  • Telephone Numbers
  • Date/Time
  • Ability to include user-defined data types.
  • Globalized parsing and formatting
  • Thread-safe.

Basic Architecture

  • Library: Apache Commons Lang, Apache Commons Convert, OFBiz
  • Java package name: org.apache.ofbiz.foundation.lang
