Wish from forum post:
In relation to #2898 the plan would be to internally switch from
ZonedDateTime
toInstant
while preserving backwards compatibility. This meansgetZonedDateTime()
will stay, but it will eventually be changed to return aZonedDateTime
with the currently configured time-zone based on the internalInstant
.Therefore it would only be natural to also add a method for returning the
Instant
representation of the current object. This does not need to wait for the additional refactoring as it will provide user value right away, but implementation will of course change when we figure out how to makeTimeZoneProvider
accessible fromDateTimeType
.
