BusinessDayConvention (OpenGamma Strata)

All Superinterfaces:

Named
```
public interface BusinessDayConvention
extends Named
```
A convention defining how to adjust a date if it falls on a day other than a business day.
The purpose of this convention is to define how to handle non-business days. When processing dates in finance, it is typically intended that non-business days, such as weekends and holidays, are converted to a nearby valid business day. The convention, in conjunction with a holiday calendar, defines exactly how the adjustment should be made.
The most common implementations are provided in BusinessDayConventions. Additional implementations may be added by implementing this interface.
All implementations of this interface must be immutable and thread-safe.
