Java Date Time API (Java 8 new feature)

Java 8–date Time API

Java 8 comes with a much improved and much required change in the the-the-time and time is handled.
The classes that represent the date and time concepts is present in the Java.time package.

The important classes in this package is:

• Java.time.Period:This class represents the date part of the DateTime. It represents the date part in terms of days, months and years. For example 1 year, 2 months and 5 days
• Java.time.Duration:This class represents the time part of the DateTime. It represents the time part in terms of seconds and nanoseconds. For example ' seconds '
• Java.time.Instant:This represents a particular Instant in the timeline. It stores the number of seconds through epoch time and also have another field that stores the nanoseconds
• Java.time.LocalDate:This stores the date part of date-time in terms of years-months-days. It does not store the TimeZone. The class is immutable.
• Java.time.LocalTime:This class stores the time part of a date time without any TimeZone info.
• Java.time.LocalDateTime:This class stores the localdate and localtime but no TimeZone
• Java.time.ZonedDateTime:This class stores the LocalDateTime and the TimeZone info as a Zoneoffset object. The class has access to Zonerules which can is used to convert to local time
• Java.time.ZoneOffset:This stores the time zone offset from UTC. The zone rules is stored in ZoneID.
• Java.time.OffsetDateTime:This stores the local datetime with the offset. This class does not has information about Zone Rules.
