errorprone.bugpattern.PreferJavaTimeOverload.md Maven / Gradle / Ivy
The newest version!
APIs that accept a `java.time.Duration` or `java.time.Instant` should be
preferred, when available.
JodaTime is now considered a legacy library for Java 8+ users.
Representing date/time concepts as numeric primitives is strongly discouraged
(e.g., `long timeout`).
APIs that require a `long, TimeUnit` pair suffer from a number of problems
1. they may require plumbing 2 parameters through various layers of your
application
2. overflows are possible when doing duration math
3. they lack semantic meaning (when viewed separately)
4. decomposing a duration into a `long, TimeUnit` is dangerous because of unit
mismatch and/or excessive truncation.
