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. Chilkat2 Java

import com.chilkatsoft.chilkat2.DateTime;
import com.chilkatsoft.chilkat2.DtObj;

public class ChilkatExample {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Let's say we have a timestamp string such as 2016-11-11T14:32:17.0908971Z
        String strTimestamp = "2016-11-11T14:32:17.0908971Z";

        DateTime dateTime = new DateTime();
        dateTime.setFromTimestamp(strTimestamp);

        // Get a DtObj in the local timezone.
        boolean bLocalTimezone = true;
        DtObj dt = new DtObj();
        dateTime.toDtObj(bLocalTimezone, dt);

        // Get the individual date/time components
        System.out.println("-- Local Time --");
        System.out.println("Year: " + dt.getYear());
        System.out.println("Month: " + dt.getMonth());
        System.out.println("Day: " + dt.getDay());
        System.out.println("Hour: " + dt.getHour());
        System.out.println("Minutes: " + dt.getMinute());
        System.out.println("Seconds: " + dt.getSecond());

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

        // Get the individual date/time components
        System.out.println("-- UTC Time --");
        System.out.println("Year: " + dt.getYear());
        System.out.println("Month: " + dt.getMonth());
        System.out.println("Day: " + dt.getDay());
        System.out.println("Hour: " + dt.getHour());
        System.out.println("Minutes: " + dt.getMinute());
        System.out.println("Seconds: " + dt.getSecond());
