• Back to LocalDateTime  ↑

LocalDateTime toString() Outputs this date-time as a String, such as 2014-12-03T10:15:30.

The output will be one of the following ISO-8601 formats:

uuuu-MM-dd'T'HH:mm 
uuuu-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss 
uuuu-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS 
uuuu-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSSSS 
uuuu-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSSSSSSS 

The format used will be the shortest that outputs the full value of the time where the omitted parts are implied to be zero.
