public class ParsePosition
extends Object

ParsePosition is a simple class used by Format and its subclasses to keep track of the current position during parsing. The parseObject method in the various Format classes requires a ParsePosition object as an argument.

By design, as you parse through a string with different formats, you can use the same ParsePosition, since the index parameter records the current position.
