org.grobid.core.data.Date

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Comparable

public class Date
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.lang.Comparable

Class for representing a date. We use our own representation of dates for having a comparable which prioritize the most fully specified dates first, then the earliest date, i.e.: 10.2010 < 2010 20.10.2010 < 10.2010 19.10.2010 < 20.10.2010 1999 < 10.2000 10.1999 < 2000 which is not the same as a comparison in term of the time flow only. For comparing dates in term of strict time flow, please use java.util.Date + java.util.Calendar
