Returns: This method returns an Instant which is the valid instant in the UTC time zone of the String passed as the parameter. Exception: This method throws DateTimeException if the text cannot be parsed. Below programs illustrate the parse() method: Program 1:

Java

// Java program to demonstrate
// Instant.parse() method
 
import java.time.*;
 
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
 
        // get Instant using parse method
        Instant instant
            = Instant.parse("2018-11-30T18:35:24.00Z");
 
        // print result
        System.out.println("Instant: "
                           + instant);
    }
}

Output:

Instant: 2018-11-30T18:35:24Z

Java

// Java program to demonstrate
// Instant.parse() method
 
import java.time.*;
 
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
 
        // get Instant using parse method
        Instant instant
            = Instant.parse("2019-10-01T08:25:24.00Z");
 
        // print result
