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. Zig

const std = @import("std");
const chilkat = @import("chilkat");

pub fn main() !void {
    // Let's say we have a timestamp string such as 2016-11-11T14:32:17.0908971Z
    const str_timestamp = "2016-11-11T14:32:17.0908971Z";

    const date_time = try chilkat.DateTime.init();
    defer date_time.deinit();
    date_time.setFromTimestamp(str_timestamp) catch {};

    // Get a DtObj in the local timezone.
    var b_local_timezone: bool = true;
    const dt = try chilkat.DtObj.init();
    defer dt.deinit();
    date_time.toDtObj(b_local_timezone, dt);

    // Get the individual date/time components
    std.debug.print("-- Local Time --\n", .{});
    std.debug.print("Year: {d}\n", .{dt.getYear()});
    std.debug.print("Month: {d}\n", .{dt.getMonth()});
    std.debug.print("Day: {d}\n", .{dt.getDay()});
    std.debug.print("Hour: {d}\n", .{dt.getHour()});
    std.debug.print("Minutes: {d}\n", .{dt.getMinute()});
    std.debug.print("Seconds: {d}\n", .{dt.getSecond()});

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

    // Get the individual date/time components
    std.debug.print("-- UTC Time --\n", .{});
    std.debug.print("Year: {d}\n", .{dt.getYear()});
    std.debug.print("Month: {d}\n", .{dt.getMonth()});
    std.debug.print("Day: {d}\n", .{dt.getDay()});
    std.debug.print("Hour: {d}\n", .{dt.getHour()});
    std.debug.print("Minutes: {d}\n", .{dt.getMinute()});
    std.debug.print("Seconds: {d}\n", .{dt.getSecond()});
}
