## Class StdDateFormat

- java.lang.Object
- - java.text.Format
  - - java.text.DateFormat
    - - org.codehaus.jackson.map.util.StdDateFormat

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Cloneable

      public class StdDateFormat
      extends DateFormat

  Default `DateFormat` implementation used by standard Date serializers and deserializers. For serialization defaults to using an ISO-8601 compliant format (format String "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ") and for deserialization, both ISO-8601 and RFC-1123.

    `protected static String` | `DATE_FORMAT_STR_RFC1123` This constant defines the date format specified by RFC 1123.
