- Method Detail
  - getFormatter
```
NlsFormatter<Object> getFormatter()
```
    This method gets the default NlsFormatter.
    
    Returns:
    
    the default NlsFormatter instance.
    
    See Also:
    
    getFormatter(String, String)
  - getFormatter
```
NlsFormatter<?> getFormatter(String formatType)
```
    This method gets the NlsFormatter for the given formatType.
    
    Parameters:
    
    formatType - is the type to be formatted.
    
    Returns:
    
    the according NlsFormatter instance.
    
    See Also:
    
    getFormatter(String, String)
  - getFormatter
```
NlsFormatterPlugin<?> getFormatter(String formatType,
                                   String formatStyle)
```
    This method gets the NlsFormatter for the given formatType and formatStyle.
    To be compliant with MessageFormat the following types and styles need to be supported by the implementation:
    
    formatType:
    - number
    - date
    - time
    - choice
    - datetime
    formatStyle:
    - short
    - medium
    - long
    - full
    - integer
    - currency
    - percent
    - additional custom styles (named [a-z]*)
    - anything else will be treated as SubformatPattern
    ATTENTION:
    The support for ChoiceFormats is NOT provided in a compatible way as by hacking internal arrays of MessageFormat. Instead this implementation provides a clean configuration via formatStyle when formatType is choice (see NlsFormatterChoice).
    Parameters:
    
    formatType - is the type to be formatted.
    
    formatStyle - is the style defining details of formatting.
    
    Returns:
    
    the according NlsFormatter instance.
