Java Data Utils 8

The document discusses Java's date and time API introduced in Java 8. It provides an overview of the key packages, classes and methods in the API for working with dates, times, timestamps, durations, periods, and time zones. Examples are presented for parsing, formatting, adding/subtracting times, adjusting dates, converting between instant and calendar representations, and working with dates in different time zones.

Basics

 Bases on Joda-Time Library (introduced with JSR 310)


 Immutable Objects
 Thread Safe
 APIs now through NullPointerExceptions when
arguments are null (changed behavior!)
 Month starts with 1“

Package Overview

Package Description
java.time The core of the API for representing date and time. It includes
classes for date, time, date and time combined, time zones,
instants, duration, and clocks. These classes are based on the
calendar system defined in ISO-8601, and are immutable and
thread-safe.
java.time.chrono The API for representing calendar systems other than the default
ISO-8601. You can also define your own calendar system. This
tutorial does not cover this package in any detail.
java.time.format Classes for formatting and parsing dates and times.
java.time.temporal Extended API, primarily for framework and library writers, allowing
interoperations between the date and time classes, querying, and
adjustment. Fields (TemporalField and ChronoField) and units
(TemporalUnit and ChronoUnit) are defined in this package.
java.time.zone Classes that support time zones, offsets from time zones, and
time zone rules. If working with time zones, most developers will
need to use only ZonedDateTime, and ZoneId or ZoneOffset.

Clock

 new wrapper around System.currentTimeMillis()

LocalDateTime

 LocalDateTime contains information


without relation to any timezone

LocalDate a date, without time of day, offset or zone


LocalTime the time of day, without date, offset or zone
LocalDateTime the date and time, without offset or zone

Unification of Methods

of static factory method


parse static factory method focused on parsing
get gets the value of something
is checks if something is true
with the immutable equivalent of a setter
plus adds an amount to an object
minus subtracts an amount from an object
to converts this object to another type
at combines this object with another, such as
date.atTime(time)

Conversion from / to legacy code

Calendar.toInstant() converts the Calendar object to an Instant


GregorianCalendar. converts a GregorianCalendar instance to a
toZonedDateTime() ZonedDateTime
GregorianCalendar. creates a GregorianCalendar object using the
from(ZonedDateTime) default locale from a ZonedDateTime instance
Date.from(Instant) creates a Date object from an Instant
Date.toInstant() converts a Date object to an Instant
TimeZone.toZoneId() converts a TimeZone object to a ZoneId
