Calculating time difference in Milliseconds

Question

I am making a call to a method by passing ipAddress and it will return back the location of ipAddress like Country, City, etc etc. So I was trying to see how much time it is

Answer 1

I pretty much like the (relatively) new java.time library: it's close to awesome, imho.

You can calculate a duration between two instants this way:

import java.time.*

Instant before = Instant.now();
// do stuff
Instant after = Instant.now();
long delta = Duration.between(before, after).toMillis(); // .toWhatsoever()

API is awesome, highly readable and intuitive.

Classes are thread-safe too. !
