## <i></i> Why Joda Time?

The standard date and time classes prior to Java SE 8 are poor.
By tackling this problem head-on, Joda-Time has become the de facto standard date and time library for Java.
Note that from Java SE 8 onwards, users are asked to migrate to `java.time` (JSR-310).

the de facto standard date and time library for Java prior to Java SE 8.
**Note that from Java SE 8 onwards, users are asked to migrate to `java.time` (JSR-310) -
a core part of the JDK which replaces this project.**

The design allows for multiple calendar systems, while still providing a simple API.
The "default" calendar is the [ISO8601](cal_iso.html) standard which is used by many other standards.
