LocalDate to Instant
In order to convert it to an instant you need to have a
LocalDateTime
instance
- Java Instant class is used to represent a specific moment on the time line. This might be used to record event time-stamps in the application.
-
java.util.Date
represents an instant on the time-line, not a date. The actual data stored within the object is a long count of milliseconds since1970-01-01T00:00Z
. - The equivalent class to
java.util.Date
in JSR-310 is Instant, thus there is a convenient methodtoInstant()
to provide the conversion.
public Instant toInstant()
- Converts this Date object to an Instant.
- The conversion creates an Instant that represents the same point on the time-line as this Date.
- Returns an instant representing the same point on the time-line as this Date object.
Date to LocalDate
LocalDate date = LocalDate.now(); Instant instant = date.atStartOfDay(ZoneId.systemDefault()).toInstant();
Date input = new Date(); Instant instant = input.toInstant(); ZonedDateTime zdt = instant.atZone(ZoneId.systemDefault()); LocalDate date = zdt.toLocalDate();
