How to Parse a TimeStamp (such as 2016-11-11T14:32:17.0908971Z)

Timestamps are frequently used in REST API responses. This example demonstrates how to parse a timestamp string to get at the date/time components in the local timezone or in the GMT/UTC timezone. Go

    // Let's say we have a timestamp string such as 2016-11-11T14:32:17.0908971Z
    strTimestamp := "2016-11-11T14:32:17.0908971Z"

    dateTime := chilkat.NewCkDateTime()
    dateTime.SetFromTimestamp(strTimestamp)

    // Get a DtObj in the local timezone.
    bLocalTimezone := true
    dt := chilkat.NewDtObj()
    dateTime.ToDtObj(bLocalTimezone,dt)

    // Get the individual date/time components
    fmt.Println("-- Local Time --")
    fmt.Println("Year: ", dt.Year())
    fmt.Println("Month: ", dt.Month())
    fmt.Println("Day: ", dt.Day())
    fmt.Println("Hour: ", dt.Hour())
    fmt.Println("Minutes: ", dt.Minute())
    fmt.Println("Seconds: ", dt.Second())

    // Get a DtObj in the GMT/UTC timezone.
    bLocalTimezone = false
    dateTime.ToDtObj(bLocalTimezone,dt)

    // Get the individual date/time components
    fmt.Println("-- UTC Time --")
    fmt.Println("Year: ", dt.Year())
    fmt.Println("Month: ", dt.Month())
    fmt.Println("Day: ", dt.Day())
    fmt.Println("Hour: ", dt.Hour())
    fmt.Println("Minutes: ", dt.Minute())
    fmt.Println("Seconds: ", dt.Second())

    dateTime.DisposeCkDateTime()
    dt.DisposeDtObj()
