NSDateFormater mysql "style" date formatting

Question

I'm getting from my webapp date and time in format:

2012-02-23T23:25:22Z

I tried with different formats but without success.

[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss z"];

How to setup NSDateFormater to get this string into NSDate?

Answer 1

You are using an RFC3339 date time.

Apple uses this recommendation:

[rfc3339DateFormatter setLocale:enUSPOSIXLocale];
[rfc3339DateFormatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy'-'MM'-'dd'T'HH':'mm':'ss'Z'"];
[rfc3339DateFormatter setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone timeZoneForSecondsFromGMT:0]];

Answer 2

Updated

[dateFormat setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'Z'"];

But what your Z represents here.. I suppose it's not a timezone
