Strategy for querying a temporal object.
Queries are a key tool for extracting information from temporal objects. They exist to externalize the process of querying, permitting different approaches, as per the strategy design pattern. Examples might be a query that checks if the date is the day before February 29th in a leap year, or calculates the number of days to your next birthday.
The TemporalField interface provides another mechanism for querying temporal objects. That interface is limited to returning a long. By contrast, queries can return any type.
There are two equivalent ways of using a TemporalQuery. The first is to invoke the method on this interface directly. The second is to use TemporalAccessor.query(TemporalQuery):
// these two lines are equivalent, but the second approach is recommended temporal = thisQuery.queryFrom(temporal); temporal = temporal.query(thisQuery); It is recommended to use the second approach, query(TemporalQuery), as it is a lot clearer to read in code.
The most common implementations are method references, such as LocalDate::from and ZoneId::from. Additional common queries are provided as static methods in TemporalQueries.

(query-from this temporal)
Queries the specified temporal object.
This queries the specified temporal object to return an object using the logic encapsulated in the implementing class. Examples might be a query that checks if the date is the day before February 29th in a leap year, or calculates the number of days to your next birthday.

temporal - the temporal object to query, not null - java.time.temporal.TemporalAccessor
returns: the queried value, may return null to indicate not found - R
throws: java.time.DateTimeException - if unable to query
