parse
expect fun parse(input: CharSequence, format: DateTimeFormat<LocalDateTime> = getIsoDateTimeFormat()): LocalDateTime(source)
A shortcut for calling DateTimeFormat.parse.
Parses a string that represents a date/time value including date and time components but without any time zone component and returns the parsed LocalDateTime value.
If format is not specified, Formats.ISO is used. 2023-01-02T23:40:57.120 is an example of a string in this format.
See Formats and Format for predefined and custom formats.
Throws
if the text cannot be parsed or the boundaries of LocalDateTime are exceeded.
