How to get date or datetime from string in java

To get the date or dateime from String since Java 8 you can use the parse method of both LocalDate and LocalDateTime which takes two parameters: the string and a DateFormatter which you can specify as in the following example:

LocalDate date = LocalDate.parse("1969-12-31", DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MM-dd"));
LocalDateTime dateTime = LocalDateTime.parse("1983-01-08 20:54", DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm"));
