Returns the ISO date formatter that prints/parses a date without an offset, such as '20111203'.
This returns an immutable formatter capable of printing and parsing the ISO-8601 basic local date format. The format consists of:
year.

The ISO instant formatter that formats or parses an instant in UTC, such as '2011-12-03T10:15:30Z'.
The ISO instant formatter that formats or parses an instant in UTC, such as '2011-12-03T10:15:30Z'.
This returns an immutable formatter capable of formatting and parsing the ISO-8601 instant format. When formatting, the second-of-minute is always output. The nano-of-second outputs zero, three, six or nine digits digits as necessary. When parsing, time to at least the seconds field is required. Fractional seconds from zero to nine are parsed. The localized decimal style is not used.
This is a special case formatter intended to allow a human readable form
of an Instant.
The Instant class is designed to
only represent a point in time and internally stores a value in nanoseconds
from a fixed epoch of 1970-01-01Z. As such, an Instant cannot be
formatted as a date or time without providing some form of time-zone.
This formatter allows the Instant to be formatted, by providing
a suitable conversion using ZoneOffset.UTC.
The format consists of:
#ISO_OFFSET_DATE_TIME where the instant is converted from
ChronoField#INSTANT_SECONDS and ChronoField#NANO_OF_SECOND
using the UTC offset. Parsing is case insensitive.The returned formatter has no override chronology or zone.
It uses the STRICT resolver style.

The count of pattern letters determine the format.
Text: The text style is determined based on the number of pattern letters used.
Less than 4 pattern letters will use the short form.
Exactly 4 pattern letters will use the full form.
Exactly 5 pattern letters will use the narrow form.
Number: If the count of letters is one, then the value is printed using the minimum number
of digits and without padding as per DateTimeFormatterBuilder#appendValue(TemporalField).
Otherwise, the count of digits is used as the width of the output field as per
int).
Number/Text: If the count of pattern letters is 3 or greater, use the Text rules above. Otherwise use the Number rules above.
Fraction: Outputs the nano-of-second field as a fraction-of-second. The nano-of-second value has nine digits, thus the count of pattern letters is from 1 to 9. If it is less than 9, then the nano-of-second value is truncated, with only the most significant digits being output. When parsing in strict mode, the number of parsed digits must match the count of pattern letters. When parsing in lenient mode, the number of parsed digits must be at least the count of pattern letters, up to 9 digits.
Year: The count of letters determines the minimum field width below which padding is used.
If the count of letters is two, then a reduced
two digit form is used.
For printing, this outputs the rightmost two digits. For parsing, this will parse using the
base value of 2000, resulting in a year within the range 2000 to 2099 inclusive.
If the count of letters is less than four (but not two), then the sign is only output for negative
years as per SignStyle#NORMAL.
Otherwise, the sign is output if the pad width is exceeded, as per SignStyle#EXCEEDS_PAD
ZoneId: This outputs the time-zone ID, such as 'Europe/Paris'.
If the count of letters is two, then the time-zone ID is output.
Any other count of letters throws IllegalArgumentException.
Zone names: This outputs the display name of the time-zone ID.
If the count of letters is one, two or three, then the short name is output.
If the count of letters is four, then the full name is output.
Five or more letters throws IllegalArgumentException.
Offset X and x: This formats the offset based on the number of pattern letters.
One letter outputs just the hour', such as '+01', unless the minute is non-zero
in which case the minute is also output, such as '+0130'.
Two letters outputs the hour and minute, without a colon, such as '+0130'.
Three letters outputs the hour and minute, with a colon, such as '+01:30'.
Four letters outputs the hour and minute and optional second, without a colon, such as '+013015'.
Five letters outputs the hour and minute and optional second, with a colon, such as '+01:30:15'.
Six or more letters throws IllegalArgumentException.
Pattern letter 'X' (upper case) will output 'Z' when the offset to be output would be zero,
whereas pattern letter 'x' (lower case) will output '+00', '+0000', or '+00:00'.
Offset Z: This formats the offset based on the number of pattern letters.
One, two or three letters outputs the hour and minute, without a colon, such as '+0130'.
Four or more letters throws IllegalArgumentException.
The output will be '+0000' when the offset is zero.
Optional section: The optional section markers work exactly like calling
DateTimeFormatterBuilder#optionalStart() and DateTimeFormatterBuilder#optionalEnd().
Pad modifier: Modifies the pattern that immediately follows to be padded with spaces.
The pad width is determined by the number of pattern letters.
This is the same as calling DateTimeFormatterBuilder#padNext(int).
For example, 'ppH' outputs the hour-of-day padded on the left with spaces to a width of 2.
Any unrecognized letter is an error. Any non-letter character, other than '[', ']', '{', '}' and the single quote will be output directly. Despite this, it is recommended to use single quotes around all characters that you want to output directly to ensure that future changes do not break your application.

A query that provides access to the excess days that were parsed.
A query that provides access to the excess days that were parsed.
This returns a singleton query that provides access to additional information from the parse. The query always returns a non-null period, with a zero period returned instead of null.
There are two situations where this query may return a non-zero period.
ResolverStyle is LENIENT and a time is parsed
without a date, then the complete result of the parse consists of a
LocalTime and an excess Period in days.ResolverStyle is SMART and a time is parsed
without a date where the time is 24:00:00, then the complete result of
the parse consists of a LocalTime of 00:00:00 and an excess
Period of one day.In both cases, if a complete ChronoLocalDateTime or Instant
is parsed, then the excess days are added to the date part.
As a result, this query will return a zero period.
The SMART behaviour handles the common "end of day" 24:00 value.
Processing in LENIENT mode also produces the same result:
Text to parse Parsed object Excess days "2012-12-03T00:00" LocalDateTime.of(2012, 12, 3, 0, 0) ZERO "2012-12-03T24:00" LocalDateTime.of(2012, 12, 4, 0, 0) ZERO "00:00" LocalTime.of(0, 0) ZERO "24:00" LocalTime.of(0, 0) Period.ofDays(1)The query can be used as follows:
TemporalAccessor parsed = formatter.parse(str); LocalTime time = parsed.query(LocalTime.FROM); Period extraDays = parsed.query(DateTimeFormatter.parsedExcessDays());
a query that provides access to the excess days that were parsed
A query that provides access to whether a leap-second was parsed.
A query that provides access to whether a leap-second was parsed.
This returns a singleton query that provides access to additional information from the parse. The query always returns a non-null boolean, true if parsing saw a leap-second, false if not.
Instant parsing handles the special "leap second" time of '23:59:60'.
Leap seconds occur at '23:59:60' in the UTC time-zone, but at other
local times in different time-zones. To avoid this potential ambiguity,
the handling of leap-seconds is limited to
DateTimeFormatterBuilder#appendInstant(), as that method
always parses the instant with the UTC zone offset.
If the time '23:59:60' is received, then a simple conversion is applied, replacing the second-of-minute of 60 with 59. This query can be used on the parse result to determine if the leap-second adjustment was made. The query will return one second of excess if it did adjust to remove the leap-second, and zero if not. Note that applying a leap-second smoothing mechanism, such as UTC-SLS, is the responsibility of the application, as follows:
TemporalAccessor parsed = formatter.parse(str);
Instant instant = parsed.query(Instant::from);
if (parsed.query(DateTimeFormatter.parsedLeapSecond())) {
// validate leap-second is correct and apply correct smoothing
}
a query that provides access to whether a leap-second was parsed
