 <div class="block">Base class of <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/text/Format.html?is-external=true" title="class or interface in java.text" class="externalLink"><code>Format</code></a> implementations which delegate part of their work to other
  <code>Format</code> instances. <code>CompoundFormat</code> subclasses typically work on relatively
  large blocks of data, for example a metadata tree or a <cite>Well Known Text</cite> (WKT).
  Those blocks of data usually contain smaller elements like numbers and dates, whose parsing
  and formatting can be delegated to <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/text/NumberFormat.html?is-external=true" title="class or interface in java.text" class="externalLink"><code>NumberFormat</code></a> and <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/text/DateFormat.html?is-external=true" title="class or interface in java.text" class="externalLink"><code>DateFormat</code></a> respectively.
  Subclasses can obtain instances of those formats by call to <a href="#getFormat(java.lang.Class)"><code>getFormat(Class)</code></a> where
  the argument is the type of the value to parse or format.
  <code>CompoundFormat</code> supports at least the following value types, but subclasses may add more types:

  Since <code>CompoundFormat</code> may work on larger texts than the usual <code>Format</code> classes,
  it defines <code>parse</code> and <code>format</code> methods working with arbitrary <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/CharSequence.html?is-external=true" title="class or interface in java.lang" class="externalLink"><code>CharSequence</code></a>
  and <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/Appendable.html?is-external=true" title="class or interface in java.lang" class="externalLink"><code>Appendable</code></a> instances. The standard <code>Format</code> methods redirect to the above-cited
  methods.

  <div class="section">Sub-classing</div>
  The abstract methods to be defined by subclasses are:
  <ul>
    <li><a href="#getValueType()"><code>getValueType()</code></a></li>
    <li><a href="#format(T,java.lang.Appendable)"><code>format(Object, Appendable)</code></a></li>
    <li><a href="#parse(java.lang.CharSequence,java.text.ParsePosition)"><code>parse(CharSequence, ParsePosition)</code></a></li>
  </ul>

  <div class="note"><b>API note:</b>
  in the standard <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/text/Format.html?is-external=true" title="class or interface in java.text" class="externalLink"><code>Format</code></a> class, the <code>parse</code> methods either accept a <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/text/ParsePosition.html?is-external=true" title="class or interface in java.text" class="externalLink"><code>ParsePosition</code></a> argument
  and returns <code>null</code> on error, or does not take position argument and throws a <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/text/ParseException.html?is-external=true" title="class or interface in java.text" class="externalLink"><code>ParseException</code></a> on error.
  In this <code>CompoundFormat</code> class, the <code>parse</code> method both takes a <code>ParsePosition</code> argument and
  throws a <code>ParseException</code> on error. This allows both substring parsing and more accurate exception message
  in case of error.</div></div>

 <div class="block">Returns the format to use for parsing and formatting values of the given type.
  This method applies the following algorithm:

  <ol>
    <li>If a format is cached for the given type, return that format.</li>
    <li>Otherwise if a format can be <a href="#createFormat(java.lang.Class)">created</a>
        for the given type, cache the newly created format and return it.</li>

  Subclasses can override this method for adding more types, or for configuring the
  newly created <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/text/Format.html?is-external=true" title="class or interface in java.text" class="externalLink"><code>Format</code></a> instances. Note that implementations shall check the
  type using the <code>expected == type</code> comparator, not
  <code>expected.<a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/Class.html?is-external=true#isAssignableFrom(java.lang.Class)" title="class or interface in java.lang" class="externalLink">isAssignableFrom</a>(type)</code>,
  because the check for parent types is done by the <a href="#getFormat(java.lang.Class)"><code>getFormat(Class)</code></a> method.
  This approach allows subclasses to create specialized formats for different value
  sub-types. For example a subclass may choose to format <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/Double.html?is-external=true" title="class or interface in java.lang" class="externalLink"><code>Double</code></a> values differently
  than other types of number.</div>
