Joda Equivalent of Date data structure

The Date data structure from java.util is almost being depreciated. Hence, we use to have our very own data structure to represent Date (With year, month and date only. No time information)

SimpleDate

I was wondering is there any equivalent data structure in Joda library?

If my project would like to convert to use Joda, there are some extra work. Because previously my project is using convention in Java Calendar, by having January as 0. In Joda, the January is 1

Solution

  • Use DateTime#toLocalDate() to obtain the local date part.

    LocalDate localDate = dateTime.toLocalDate();

    Note that months are nowhere in JodaTime 0-based.
