public enum IsoEra extends Enum<IsoEra> implements Era
The ISO-8601 standard does not define eras. A definition has therefore been created with two eras - 'Current era' (CE) for years on or after 0001-01-01 (ISO), and 'Before current era' (BCE) for years before that.
| year-of-era | era | proleptic-year | 
|---|---|---|
| 2 | CE | 2 | 
| 1 | CE | 1 | 
| 1 | BCE | 0 | 
| 2 | BCE | -1 | 
 Do not use ordinal() to obtain the numeric representation of IsoEra.
 Use getValue() instead.
| Enum Constant and Description | 
|---|
| BCEThe singleton instance for the era before the current one, 'Before Current Era',
 which has the numeric value 0. | 
| CEThe singleton instance for the current era, 'Current Era',
 which has the numeric value 1. |

 IsoEra is an enum representing the ISO eras of BCE/CE.
 This factory allows the enum to be obtained from the int value.
