java.lang.Object
java.time.OffsetDateTime
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Comparable<OffsetDateTime>, Temporal, TemporalAccessor, TemporalAdjuster

public final class OffsetDateTime extends Object implements Temporal, TemporalAdjuster, Comparable<OffsetDateTime>, Serializable
A date-time with an offset from UTC/Greenwich in the ISO-8601 calendar system, such as 2007-12-03T10:15:30+01:00.

OffsetDateTime is an immutable representation of a date-time with an offset. This class stores all date and time fields, to a precision of nanoseconds, as well as the offset from UTC/Greenwich. For example, the value "2nd October 2007 at 13:45:30.123456789 +02:00" can be stored in an OffsetDateTime.

OffsetDateTime, ZonedDateTime and Instant all store an instant on the time-line to nanosecond precision. Instant is the simplest, simply representing the instant. OffsetDateTime adds to the instant the offset from UTC/Greenwich, which allows the local date-time to be obtained. ZonedDateTime adds full time-zone rules.

It is intended that ZonedDateTime or Instant is used to model data in simpler applications. This class may be used when modeling date-time concepts in more detail, or when communicating to a database or in a network protocol.

This is a value-based class; programmers should treat instances that are equal as interchangeable and should not use instances for synchronization, or unpredictable behavior may occur. For example, in a future release, synchronization may fail. The equals method should be used for comparisons.
