Properties of ZonedDateTime.prototype

The ZonedDateTime class in Temporal has several properties and methods that allow detailed manipulation and retrieval of date-time information.

• These include getters for calendar, timezone, year, month, day, hour, minute, second, and even nanoseconds.
• It also includes methods like .with(), .add(), .subtract(), .until(), .since(), and .round(), providing extensive functionality for working with zoned date-time values​​.

Plain Time Classes in Temporal

Temporal introduces “plain” classes, which are abstract representations of time without a time zone.

• These classes include PlainDateTime, PlainDate, and PlainTime.
• They are useful for displaying wall-clock time in a given time zone or for time computations where the time zone is irrelevant, like finding the first Tuesday of June 1984.
