Interface DateTimeParser


public interface DateTimeParser
Internal interface for parsing textual representations of datetimes.

Application users will rarely use this class directly. Instead, you will use one of the factory classes to create a DateTimeFormatter.

The factory classes are:
- DateTimeFormatterBuilder
- DateTimeFormat
- ISODateTimeFormat

    • parseInto

      int parseInto(DateTimeParserBucket bucket, String text, int position)
      Parse an element from the given text, saving any fields into the given DateTimeParserBucket. If the parse succeeds, the return value is the new text position. Note that the parse may succeed without fully reading the text.

      If it fails, the return value is negative. To determine the position where the parse failed, apply the one's complement operator (~) on the return value.

      Parameters:
      bucket - field are saved into this, not null
      text - the text to parse, not null
      position - position to start parsing from
      Returns:
      new position, negative value means parse failed - apply complement operator (~) to get position of failure
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if any field is out of range
