FastDatePrinter (SQLite JDBC 3.39.3.0 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.sqlite.date.FastDatePrinter

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, DatePrinter
```
public class FastDatePrinter
extends Object
implements DatePrinter, Serializable
```
FastDatePrinter is a fast and thread-safe version of SimpleDateFormat.
To obtain a FastDatePrinter, use FastDateFormat.getInstance(String, TimeZone, Locale) or another variation of the factory methods of FastDateFormat.
Since FastDatePrinter is thread safe, you can use a static member instance: private static final DatePrinter DATE_PRINTER = FastDateFormat.getInstance("yyyy-MM-dd");
This class can be used as a direct replacement to SimpleDateFormat in most formatting situations. This class is especially useful in multi-threaded server environments. SimpleDateFormat is not thread-safe in any JDK version, nor will it be as Sun have closed the bug/RFE.
Only formatting is supported by this class, but all patterns are compatible with SimpleDateFormat (except time zones and some year patterns - see below).
Java 1.4 introduced a new pattern letter, 'Z', to represent time zones in RFC822 format (eg. +0800 or -1100). This pattern letter can be used here (on all JDK versions).
In addition, the pattern 'ZZ' has been made to represent ISO 8601 full format time zones (eg. +08:00 or -11:00). This introduces a minor incompatibility with Java 1.4, but at a gain of useful functionality.
Starting with JDK7, ISO 8601 support was added using the pattern 'X'. To maintain compatibility, 'ZZ' will continue to be supported, but using one of the 'X' formats is recommended.
Javadoc cites for the year pattern: For formatting, if the number of pattern letters is 2, the year is truncated to 2 digits; otherwise it is interpreted as a number. Starting with Java 1.7 a pattern of 'Y' or 'YYY' will be formatted as '2003', while it was '03' in former Java versions. FastDatePrinter implements the behavior of Java 7.
