Does InstantConverter support UTC offset values? #21

Open coferc opened 7 years ago

coferc commented 7 years ago

Can I deserialize a value using InstantConverter that includes a UTC offset like, "2017-04-22T00:00:00-04:00", or does the string have to be in UTC? I think the answer is that it doesn't support UTC offset, because I tried and it didn't work, but that could be user error. Thanks!

To cope with an offset, you'll need to use an OffsetDateTime and the OffsetDateTimeConverter.

You are right that the InstantConverter cannot cope with an offset.
