Issue encountered when trying to convert Mongodb Date to Java Date

I received this JSON data from my mongoDB:

{ 
  "_id" : ObjectId("4f95bbe3742b1eaa929b81ef"), 
  "empNo" : NumberLong(10), 
  "empName" : "abc", 
  "joinDate" : ISODate("2012-04-23T20:30:27.421Z"), 
  "address" : {
    "addNo" : NumberLong(1), 
    "addLocation" : "add0", 
    "street" : { 
      "sNo" : NumberLong(10), 
      "sName" : "Street 1" 
    } 
  } 
}

My goal is to convert 

ISODate("2012-04-23T20:30:27.421Z")
into a Java Date.

I encountered an error while trying to convert the JSON data into an Object using Google's Gson Library, specifically when dealing with Date attributes.

What would be the correct approach to tackle this issue?

Answer №1

The date format used in MongoDB is ISO formatted. If you need to convert an ISO date string to a Java data object, you can utilize the ISODateTimeFormat from the Joda-time library.

For more information on converting ISO8601 compliant strings to java.util.Date objects, check out this Stack Overflow post.
