How to get the current timestamp in Java8

Get the current timestamp in Java 8

The Instant class has a static factory method now() that returns the current timestamp, as shown below:

package com.shxt.demo02;  
import java.time.Instant;  
public class Demo16 {      
public static void main(String[] args) {          
Instant timestamp = Instant.now();          
System.out.println("What is value of this instant " + timestamp.toEpochMilli());      
}  
}

The timestamp information contains both date and time, which is very similar to java.util.Date. In fact, the Instant class is indeed equivalent to the Date class before Java 8. You can use the respective conversion methods of the Date class and the Instant class to convert to each other, for example: Date.from(Instant) to convert Instant to java.util.Date, Date.toInstant () converts the Date class into the Instant class.
