ZoneRegion
Extends:
A geographical region where the same time-zone rules apply.
Time-zone information is categorized as a set of rules defining when and how the offset from UTC/Greenwich changes. These rules are accessed using identifiers based on geographical regions, such as countries or states. The most common region classification is the Time Zone Database (TZDB), which defines regions such as 'Europe/Paris' and 'Asia/Tokyo'.
The region identifier, modeled by this class, is distinct from the underlying rules, modeled by ZoneRules. The rules are defined by governments and change frequently. By contrast, the region identifier is well-defined and long-lived. This separation also allows rules to be shared between regions if appropriate.
Specification for implementors
This class is immutable and thread-safe.

Static Public Methods
Public Methods
public id(): string source
Gets the unique time-zone ID.
This ID uniquely defines this object. The format of an offset based ID is defined by ZoneOffset#getId.
Override:
ZoneId#idReturn:
string |
public rules(): ZoneRules source
Gets the time-zone rules for this ID allowing calculations to be performed.
The rules provide the functionality associated with a time-zone, such as finding the offset for a given instant or local date-time.
A time-zone can be invalid if it is deserialized in a Java Runtime which does not have the same rules loaded as the Java Runtime that stored it. In this case, calling this method will throw a ZoneRulesException.
The rules are supplied by ZoneRulesProvider. An advanced provider may support dynamic updates to the rules without restarting the Java Runtime. If so, then the result of this method may change over time. Each individual call will be still remain thread-safe.
ZoneOffset will always return a set of rules where the offset never changes.
