Lenient Parsing of Date Time Strings

[Joseph Lorenzini]

Hi all,

In the java standard library, there is a lenient mode, where heuristics are used to take a potentially invalid string and convert it to a valid date time.

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/text/DateFormat.html#setLenient-boolean-

For example, a date like this 1983-02-00T00:00:00Z may turn into something like this 1983-01-31T00:00:00Z. Now obviously the standard time library doesn't support this and its perfectly understandable why. My question is whether there's a third party library that does something like this?

Thanks,

Joe
