Converting specific string to NSDate object in swift 2

Question

I have a string representing a date

"2016-06-28T22:26:31.200577Z"

and the dateformatter I use uses the format

"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ"

the extra ".200577" is causing my dateformatter to return nil when I try convert the date string to a NSDate object.

I have tried changing my dateformatter string to

"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.ssssssZ"

but this is not correct. I am unsure whether the ".200577" actually denotes a fraction of a second or is something else like a time zone.. At the moment I can get past this error by splitting the end part off of the string but I do not want to lose this information.

I am looking for help as to what my correct dateformatter string should be.

Did the code work, its working at my end

Use the following code to get formatted NSDate object

let dateformatter = NSDateFormatter()
 dateformatter.dateStyle = NSDateFormatterStyle.MediumStyle
 dateformatter.timeStyle = NSDateFormatterStyle.NoStyle
 dateformatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSSSSZ"
 print(dateformatter.dateFromString("2016-06-28T22:26:31.200577Z"))

// Optional(2016-06-28 22:26:31 +0000)
