java.math.BigDecimal

Packages that use BigDecimal
Package	Description
java.math	Provides classes for performing arbitrary-precision integer arithmetic (`BigInteger`) and arbitrary-precision decimal arithmetic (`BigDecimal`).
java.sql	Provides the API for accessing and processing data stored in a data source (usually a relational database) using the Java^TM programming language.
java.util	Contains the collections framework, legacy collection classes, event model, date and time facilities, internationalization, and miscellaneous utility classes (a string tokenizer, a random-number generator, and a bit array).
javax.management.openmbean	Provides the open data types and Open MBean descriptor classes.
javax.sql	Provides the API for server side data source access and processing from the Java^TM programming language.
javax.sql.rowset	Standard interfaces and base classes for JDBC `RowSet` implementations.
javax.sql.rowset.serial	Provides utility classes to allow serializable mappings between SQL types and data types in the Java programming language.
javax.xml.bind	Provides a runtime binding framework for client applications including unmarshalling, marshalling, and validation capabilities.
javax.xml.datatype	XML/Java Type Mappings.
org.omg.CORBA	Provides the mapping of the OMG CORBA APIs to the Java^TM programming language, including the class `ORB`, which is implemented so that a programmer can use it as a fully-functional Object Request Broker (ORB).
org.omg.CORBA.portable	Provides a portability layer, that is, a set of ORB APIs that makes it possible for code generated by one vendor to run on another vendor's ORB.
