Is there a way to parse Date from StringBuilder?

Question

I want to parse Date from StringBuilder without conversion to String.

SimpleDataFormat.parse(String) implementation use only CharSequence methods, length() and charAt(), but defined as defined.

Is there simple (standard) way to do this, except copying the whole SimpleDateFormat class, for example?

Answer 1

Seems there is DateTimeFormatter.parse(CharSequence) method in Java 8's java.time package. Overlooked it.
