+/**
+ * A date without a time-zone in the ISO-8601 calendar system,
+ *  such as {@code 2007-12-03}.
+ *  <p>
+ *  {@code LocalDate} is an immutable date-time object that represents a date,
+ *  often viewed as year-month-day. Other date fields, such as day-of-year,
+ *  day-of-week and week-of-year, can also be accessed.
+ *  For example, the value "2nd October 2007" can be stored in a {@code LocalDate}.
+ *  <p>
+ *  This class does not store or represent a time or time-zone.
+ *  Instead, it is a description of the date, as used for birthdays.
+ *  It cannot represent an instant on the time-line without additional information
+ *  such as an offset or time-zone.
+ *  <p>
+ *  The ISO-8601 calendar system is the modern civil calendar system used today
+ *  in most of the world. It is equivalent to the proleptic Gregorian calendar
+ *  system, in which today's rules for leap years are applied for all time.
+ *  For most applications written today, the ISO-8601 rules are entirely suitable.
+ *  However, any application that makes use of historical dates, and requires them
+ *  to be accurate will find the ISO-8601 approach unsuitable.
+ *
+ *  <p>
+ *  This is a <a href="{@docRoot}/java/lang/doc-files/ValueBased.html">value-based</a>
+ *  class; use of identity-sensitive operations (including reference equality
+ *  ({@code ==}), identity hash code, or synchronization) on instances of
+ *  {@code LocalDate} may have unpredictable results and should be avoided.
+ *  The {@code equals} method should be used for comparisons.
+ * @implSpec This class is immutable and thread-safe.
