Patterns for Instant values

The Instant type supports the following patterns:

Standard Patterns

The following standard patterns are supported:

  • g: General format pattern.
    The ISO-8601 representation of this instant in UTC, using the pattern "yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss".

  • n: Numeric with thousand separators.
    This gives the number of ticks since the Unix epoch as an integer, including thousands separators. Sample on September 16th 2011: "13,161,548,674,473,131"

  • d: Numeric without thousand separators.
    This gives the number of ticks since the Unix epoch as an integer, not including thousands separators. Sample on September 16th 2011: "13161548674473131"

Custom Patterns

Instant supports all the LocalDateTime custom patterns. The pattern allows the culture to be specified, but always uses the ISO-8601 calendar, and always uses the UTC time zone. The "template value" is always the unix epoch.
