Datetime conversion examples

  • Convert a date from milliseconds:

    Java 
    long milliSinceEpoch = 434931330000L;
Instant instant = Instant.ofEpochMilli(milliSinceEpoch);
ZonedDateTime zdt = ZonedDateTime.ofInstant(instant, ZoneId.of('Z'));

  • Convert a date to milliseconds:

    Java 
    ZonedDateTime zdt =
        ZonedDateTime.of(1983, 10, 13, 22, 15, 30, 0, ZoneId.of('Z'));
long milliSinceEpoch = zdt.toInstant().toEpochMilli();
