<div class="block">Factory that creates complex instances of DateTimeFormatter via method calls.
 <p>
 Datetime formatting is performed by the <a href="../../../../org/joda/time/format/DateTimeFormatter.html" title="class in org.joda.time.format"><code>DateTimeFormatter</code></a> class.
 Three classes provide factory methods to create formatters, and this is one.
 The others are <a href="../../../../org/joda/time/format/DateTimeFormat.html" title="class in org.joda.time.format"><code>DateTimeFormat</code></a> and <a href="../../../../org/joda/time/format/ISODateTimeFormat.html" title="class in org.joda.time.format"><code>ISODateTimeFormat</code></a>.
 <p>
 DateTimeFormatterBuilder is used for constructing formatters which are then
 used to print or parse. The formatters are built by appending specific fields
 or other formatters to an instance of this builder.
 <p>
 For example, a formatter that prints month and year, like "January 1970",
 can be constructed as follows:
 <p>
 <pre>
 DateTimeFormatter monthAndYear = new DateTimeFormatterBuilder()
     .appendMonthOfYearText()
     .appendLiteral(' ')
     .appendYear(4, 4)
     .toFormatter();
 </pre>
 <p>
 DateTimeFormatterBuilder itself is mutable and not thread-safe, but the
 formatters that it builds are thread-safe and immutable.</div>
