java get date in utc

To get the current date in UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) in Java, you can use the Instant class from the java.time package. This class represents a specific point in time, with a date and a time, in the ISO-8601 calendar system.

Here's an example of how to use the Instant class to get the current date in UTC:

import java.time.Instant;

public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Instant now = Instant.now();
    System.out.println(now); // prints the current date and time in UTC
  }
}

In this example, the now() method of the Instant class is used to get the current date and time as an Instant object. The Instant object is then printed to the console.

You can use the various methods of the Instant class to manipulate the date and time, such as plusSeconds() to add or subtract seconds, or atZone() to convert the Instant to a specific time zone.
