How can i convert a string to a LocalDate?
I have seen examples like:
LocalDate dt = new LocalDate("2005-11-12"); But my strings are like:
2005-nov-12 
496
Parsing String to LocalDateparse() method takes two arguments. The first argument is the string representing the date. And the second optional argument is an instance of DateTimeFormatter specifying any custom pattern. //Default pattern is yyyy-MM-dd LocalDate today = LocalDate.
Use MM that represents Month instead of mm that represents minutes. Use LocalDate. parse() instead of new LocalDate() to construct the LocalDate object.
Use LocalDate. format(DateTimeFormatter) method to format a local date to the desired string representation.
Since Java 1.8, you can achieve this without an extra library by using the java.time classes. See Tutorial.
DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MMM-dd"); formatter = formatter.withLocale( putAppropriateLocaleHere ); // Locale specifies human language for translating, and cultural norms for lowercase/uppercase and abbreviations and such. Example: Locale.US or Locale.CANADA_FRENCH LocalDate date = LocalDate.parse("2005-nov-12", formatter); The syntax is nearly the same though.
