What is the date format of 2019-06-17T20:27:23.706000000Z?

Question

What is the date format of 2019-06-17T20:27:23.706000000Z? I need date format of this format of dates, also need to parse and convert it to java Date.

I tried with this:

SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z'");

But, it's giving me incorrect results.

Answer 1

Try this:

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.util.TimeZone;

public class Main
{
    public static void main(String[] args){
        SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS");
        try{
            Date date = sdf.parse("2019-06-17T20:27:23.706Z");
            System.out.println(date);
        }
        catch(Exception pe){
            System.out.println(pe);
        }

    }
}

output:

Mon Jun 17 20:27:23 UTC 2019

By the way, you can also try this:

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSSSSSSS'Z'");

Both gives the same result

Try using Instant from java.time package(java 8).

String value = "2019-06-17T20:27:23.706000000Z";
Instant instant = Instant.parse(value);
Date date = Date.from(instant);
