Instant parse() method in Java with Examples

The parse() method of Instant class help to get an instance of Instant from a string value passed as parameter. This string is an instant in the UTC time zone. It is parsed using DateTimeFormatter.ISO_INSTANT. Syntax:

    parse(CharSequence text)

Parameters: This method accepts one parameter text which is the text to parse in instant. It should not be null. Returns: This method returns an Instant which is the valid instant in the UTC time zone of the String passed as the parameter. Exception: This method throws DateTimeException if the text cannot be parsed. Below programs illustrate the parse() method: Program 1:

// Java program to demonstrate
// Instant.parse() method
 
import java.time.*;
 
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
 
        // get Instant using parse method
        Instant instant
            = Instant.parse("2018-11-30T18:35:24.00Z");
 
        // print result
        System.out.println("Instant: "
                           + instant);
    }
}
