ISO

ISO 8601 extended format.

Examples of datetime in ISO 8601 format:

  • 2020-08-30T18:43

  • +12020-08-30T18:43:00

  • 0000-08-30T18:43:00.5

  • -0001-08-30T18:43:00.123456789

When formatting, seconds are always included, even if they are zero. Fractional parts of the second are included if non-zero.

Guaranteed to parse all strings that LocalDateTime.toString produces.

See ISO-8601-1:2019, 5.4.2.1b), the version without the offset, together with LocalDate.Formats.ISO and LocalTime.Formats.ISO.
