> what if want to parse date from iso8601 string? should I write parser class
The pattern indeed seems to be to write a parser class, but that should be relatively easy: 1. Create a response parser such as [`ParseSystemAndUserMetadataFromHeaders`](https://github.com/jclouds/jclouds/blob/master/blobstore/src/main/java/org/jclouds/blobstore/functions/ParseSystemAndUserMetadataFromHeaders.java) that gets a [`DateService`](http://javadocs.jclouds.cloudbees.net/org/jclouds/date/DateService.html) injected. Use the `DateService` methods to parse the input. Please also add a unit test for the handler 2. Add a `@ResponseParser` to your API call, referring to your parser. See e.g. the current [`EventApi`](https://github.com/jclouds/jclouds/blob/master/apis/cloudstack/src/main/java/org/jclouds/cloudstack/features/EventApi.java#L56) Hope that helps! --- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/jclouds/jclouds-labs/pull/12#issuecomment-21675987
