How has ZonedDateTime changed in recent Java versions?

ZonedDateTime has seen several enhancements in recent Java versions, particularly in Java 8 and subsequent updates. The introduction of the Java Time API in Java 8 provided a more comprehensive framework for date and time handling. Additionally, later versions have introduced new methods and utilities to improve functionality.

One of the significant changes includes the enhanced support for different time zones and the ability to handle daylight saving time transitions more effectively. The methods for manipulating dates and times were also improved, allowing for more fluent and intuitive usage.

// Example of using ZonedDateTime import java.time.ZonedDateTime; import java.time.ZoneId; public class ZonedDateTimeExample { public static void main(String[] args) { // Get the current date and time in a specific time zone ZonedDateTime zonedDateTime = ZonedDateTime.now(ZoneId.of("America/New_York")); System.out.println("Current date and time in New York: " + zonedDateTime); // Adding time ZonedDateTime futureDateTime = zonedDateTime.plusDays(10); System.out.println("Date and time after 10 days: " + futureDateTime); } }
