| Character | Description            | Example                                |
| --------- | ---------------------- | -------------------------------------- |
| y         | Year                   | yyyy => 2018; yy => 18                 |
| M         | Month in year          | MM => 08; MMM => Aug; MMMM => August   |
| d         | Day in month           | dd => 09                               |
| H         | Hour in day (0-23)     | HH => 13                               |
| m         | Minute in hour         | mm => 25                               |
| s         | Second in minute       | ss => 56                               |
| S         | Millisecond            | SSS => 367                             |
| Z         | Time zone              | Z => +0800                             |

For example, time text:

` 2018/08/09 13:25:56.367 +0800`

can be used

`yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss.SSS Z`

Come to analyze.
