number

A number is a numeric value.

Format: depends on the locale and number pattern.

Note: The number format provider has been changed in JDK9 (see JEP252) so the formatting might be different when using an old JDK. For example, NaN value (aka “not-a-number”) is represented by NaN in JDK9+ but was represented by U+FFFD REPLACEMENT CHARACTER in JDK8. Fortunately, the use of the newer provider (CLDR) can be enforced by setting explicitly the system property java.locale.providers:

java.locale.providers=CLDR
