For both FastDateParser and FastDatePrinter, Z is equivalent to SimpleDateFormat Z. For both FastDateParser and FastDatePrinter, ZZ is equivalent to SimpleDateFormat XXX.
For FastDateParser, ZZZ is equivalent to SimpleDateFormat z. For FastDatePrinter, ZZZ is mostly equivalent to SimpleDateFormat XXX (UTC is displayed as '+00:00'instead of 'Z'). SimpleDateFormat does not support ‘ZZ’ as ISO8601. Whether it is an invalid format of is not Historically ZZ was introduced in the FastDatePrinter to support ISO8601 before the X format was added to SimpleDateFormat in JRE1.7. For SimpleDateFormat Z, ZZ, and ZZZ are equivalent. Bottom Line: Use one of the X formats to make sure you are compatible with JRE classes. chas > On Mar 31, 2017, at 7:06 PM, Hyukjin Kwon <[email protected]> wrote: > > Oh, I meant 'ZZ' vs 'XXX' not 'X'. > > On 1 Apr 2017 11:05 a.m., "Hyukjin Kwon" <[email protected]> wrote: > > Thanks for your answer, Chas. > > I understood ISO 8601 is supportrd by both 'X' and 'ZZ'. > > Do you maybe know if they are the same and interchangable? > > I am worried of any regression after replacing 'ZZ' to 'X'.
