About the DateFormatter component
Constructors Properties Methods
Implements Serializable
The DateFormatter class uses a Variant of type Variant.DATE, which stores data in a java.sql.Date object. This object is able to store time information; however, all time-related operations on java.sql.Date objects are deprecated.
To work with time data, use TimeFormatter or TimestampFormatter.
