How do I convert 2018-04-10T04:00:00.000Z string to DateTime?

To convert a string in the format "2018-04-10T04:00:00.000Z" to a date-time object in Java, you can use the java.time.Instant class. The java.time package (introduced in Java 8) is the modern standard for date and time handling, replacing the deprecated Joda-Time library.

Here is an example of how to convert the string:

import java.time.Instant;

String dateString = "2018-04-10T04:00:00.000Z";
Instant dateTime = Instant.parse(dateString);

The Instant.parse() method automatically recognizes the ISO-8601 format, including the Z suffix which denotes UTC. If you specifically need a timezone-aware object, you can use java.time.OffsetDateTime.parse(dateString) instead.
