简化Java日期操作的开源项目DATE4J，超级好用

以往要使用Java对时间日期进行操作，可能会用到以下的一些类：

Date and its subclasses :

• java.util.Date
• java.sql.Date
• java.sql.Timestamp

The calendar and time zone classes :

• java.util.Calendar
• java.util.GregorianCalendar
• java.util.TimeZone
• java.util.SimpleTimeZone (for use with the Gregorian calendar only)

The formatting and parsing classes :

• java.text.DateFormat
• java.text.SimpleDateFormat
• java.text.DateFormatSymbols

以上这么多类用起来是不是很麻烦呢，现在好了，有了DATE4J，就不用这么麻烦了。

下面是一些简单的实例：

//Examples //Here are some quick examples of using date4j's DateTime class : DateTime dateAndTime = new DateTime("2010-01-19 23:59:59"); DateTime dateAndTime = new DateTime("2010-01-19 23:59:59.123456789"); DateTime dateOnly = new DateTime("2010-01-19"); DateTime timeOnly = new DateTime("23:59:59"); DateTime dateOnly = DateTime.forDateOnly(2010,01,19); DateTime timeOnly = DateTime.forTimeOnly(23,59,59,0); DateTime dt = new DateTime("2010-01-15 13:59:15"); boolean leap = dt.isLeapYear(); //false dt.getNumDaysInMonth(); //31 dt.getStartOfMonth(); //2010-01-01, 00:00:00.000000000 dt.getEndOfDay(); //2010-01-15, 23:59:59.999999999 dt.format("YYYY-MM-DD"); //formats as '2010-01-15' dt.plusDays(30); //30 days after Jan 15 dt.numDaysFrom(someDate); //returns an int dueDate.lt(someDate); //less-than dueDate.lteq(someDate); //less-than-or-equal-to //Although DateTime carries no TimeZone information internally, there are methods that take a TimeZone as a parameter : DateTime now = DateTime.now(someTimeZone); DateTime today = DateTime.today(someTimeZone); DateTime fromMilliseconds = DateTime.forInstant(31313121L, someTimeZone); birthday.isInFuture(someTimeZone); dt.changeTimeZone(fromOneTimeZone, toAnotherTimeZone);
