## Class DecimalFormatSymbolsProvider

- java.lang.Object
- - java.util.spi.LocaleServiceProvider

-     public abstract class DecimalFormatSymbolsProvider
      extends LocaleServiceProvider

  An abstract class for service providers that provide instances of the `DecimalFormatSymbols` class.

  The requested `Locale` may contain an extension for specifying the desired numbering system.

Refer to the Unicode Locale Data Markup Language (LDML) specification for numbering systems.
