How to convert String to Date and time using

Answer 1

My go-to option is to use nscala-time: https://github.com/nscala-time/nscala-time

Add this to your build.sbt if using sbt.

libraryDependencies += "com.github.nscala-time" %% "nscala-time" % "1.8.0"

Import and parse your date.

import com.github.nscala_time.time.Imports._

DateTime.parse("2014-07-06")
