RFC 3339 by The Internet Society is a self-described “profile” of the ISO 8601. But ISO does not provide for profiles. And the RFC makes some screwy unwise contradictions of ISO 8601.
So, I suggest you forget about the RFC. Focus instead on ISO 8601, nicely documented on Wikipedia.
The java.time classes use ISO 8601 formats by default when parsing/generating text. No need for you to define a formatting pattern.
You neglected to mention the specific format of interest. Several are predefined as constants on the DateTimeFormatter class.
Perhaps you meant the format for a date with time as seen with an offset from UTC of zero hours-minutes-seconds. For that, use Instant class. The Z on the end is an abbreviation for an offset of zero, +00:00.
Instant instant = Instant.parse( "2007-12-03T10:15:30.1764435Z" ) ;
String output = instant.toString() ; // Produces: 2007-12-03T10:15:30.1764435Z
Those methods are using the constant DateTimeFormatter.ISO_INSTANT formatter object.
parseandtoStringmethods already do this. No DateTimeFormatter is needed.DateTimeFormatter.ISO_OFFSET_DATE_TIME. Which are the RFC 3339 date-time strings that you want to parse and cannot parse with that formatter?
