Well aware of performance and thread issues with SimpleDateFormat, I decided to go with FastDateFormat, until I realized that FastDateFormat is for formatting only, no parsing!
Is there an alternative to FastDateFormat, that is ready to use out of the box and much faster than SimpleDateFormat?
I believe FastDateFormat is one of the faster ones, so anything that is about as fast would do.
Just curious , any idea why FastDateFormat does not support parsing? Doesn't it seriously limit its use?

DateTimeFormatter is a replacement for the old SimpleDateFormat that is thread-safe and provides additional functionality.
Parsing is conversion of String into a java. util. Date instance. We can parse a string to a date instance using parse() method of the SimpleDateFormat class.
The java. text package provides a class named SimpleDateFormat which is used to format and parse dates in required manner (local). One of the constructors of this class accepts a String value representing the desired date format and constructors SimpleDateFormat object. The format() method of this class accepts a java.
Note that since commons-lang 3.2, FastDateFormat supports parsing as well as printing.
