Exploring Date and Time in Java: The Epoch Chronicles[Computer Science] Part-2

In case you’re wondering, there is a 1st part to this article series where we have explored various “Epochs” above. However, feel free to dive right into this 2nd part, as it focuses on “The history of Java Date Manipulation”. While the 1st part provides valuable insights, it’s not necessary to read it to understand the content in this 2nd part. Java 8 was a major update for the Java programming language. It introduced several significant features and improvements to the language, making it one of the most impactful updates in Java’s history. Java 8 introduced the modern <code>java.time</code> package, which provided a comprehensive, immutable, and thread-safe API for working with dates and times. Prior to Java 8, the primary classes and interfaces for date and time manipulation were part of the <code>java.util</code> and <code>java.text</code> packages. These classes were less intuitive and more error-prone than the modern <code>java.time</code> classes part of Java 8. Here are some of the key classes and interfaces used for date and time manipulation prior to Java 8. <a href="https://medium.com/@evickyvignesh/exploring-date-and-time-in-java-the-epoch-chronicles-computer-science-part-2-43dca2f4e675">Click Here</a>
