Overview

Tempo’s features fall into four main categories:

Local dates and times

Local dates and times, such as LocalDateTime, store a simple date and time like you would write on paper. They’re straightforward, and easy to reason about.

Absolute dates and times

Absolute dates and times, such as ZonedDateTime, represent an absolute point in time relative to UTC. They offer more capabilities, such as time zones, but are more difficult to use and require more thought.

Relative times

The relative time types, Timespan and Period, represent a length of time such as five minutes or three months.

Time zone lookups

Time zone lookup functions provide you with tools for finding a time zone.
