Introduction

Utilize the parse() method of a temporal date-time class to parse a String.

Demo Code

import java.time.LocalDate;
import java.time.LocalDateTime;
import java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter;
import java.time.format.DateTimeParseException;

public class Main {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    // Parse a string to form a Date-Time object
    LocalDate ld = LocalDate.parse("2013-12-28");
    LocalDateTime ldt = LocalDateTime.parse("2013-12-28T08:44:00");
    System.out.println("Parsed Date: " + ld);
    System.out.println("Parsed Date-Time: " + ldt);

    // Using a different Parser
    LocalDate ld2 = LocalDate.parse("2013-12-28", DateTimeFormatter.ISO_DATE);
    System.out.println("Different Parser: " + ld2);

    // Custom Parser
    String input = "12/28/2013";
    try {//from   w  ww.j  a  va2  s.c o  m
      DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("MM/dd/yyyy");
      LocalDate ld3 = LocalDate.parse(input, formatter);
      System.out.println("Custom Parsed Date: " + ld3);
    } catch (DateTimeParseException ex) {
      System.out.println("Not parsable: " + ex);
    }
  }
}
