tech.units.indriya (Units of Measurement Reference Implementation 2.2.2 API)

This package provides the Reference Implementation of the Units of Measurement API.

Usage:

         AbstractUnit<Length> targetUnit = MILE;
         UnitConverter uc = sourceUnit.getConverterTo(targetUnit);
         System.out.println(uc.convert(10)); // Converts 10 km to miles.

         // Same conversion than above, packed in one line.
         System.out.println(KILO(METRE).getConverterTo(MILE).convert(10));

         // Retrieval of the SI unit (identifies the measurement type).
         System.out.println(REVOLUTION.divide(MINUTE).toSI());

         // Dimension checking (allows/disallows conversions)
         System.out.println(ELECTRON_VOLT.isCompatible(WATT.times(HOUR)));

         // Retrieval of the unit dimension (depends upon the current model).
         System.out.println(ELECTRON_VOLT.getDimension());

Unit Parameterization

CommonUnits are parameterized enforce compile-time checks of units/measures consistency, for example:


     Unit<Time> MINUTE = SECOND.multiply(60); // Ok.
     Unit<Time> MINUTE = METRE.multiply(60); // Compile error.

     Unit<Pressure> HECTOPASCAL = HECTO(PASCAL); // Ok.
     Unit<Pressure> HECTOPASCAL = HECTO(NEWTON); // Compile error.

     Quantity<Time> duration = Quantities.getQuantity(2, MINUTE); // Ok.
     Quantity<Time> duration = Quantities.getQuantity(2, CELSIUS); // Compile error.

Runtime checks of dimension consistency can be done for more complex cases.


     Unit<Area> SQUARE_METRE = METRE.times(METRE).asType(Area.class); // Ok.
     Unit<Area> SQUARE_METRE = METRE.times(KELVIN).asType(Area.class); // Runtime error.

     Unit<Temperature> KELVIN = AbstractUnit.parse("K").asType(Temperature.class); // Ok.
     Unit<Temperature> KELVIN = AbstractUnit.parse("kg").asType(Temperature.class); // Runtime error.
