@dustinStratis Can you expand on this a bit more? Which explicit date formats do you want formatters for? Does this have any interaction with other APIs in Guava, or are you just looking for a class w/ some
DateTimeFormatters? Guava has mostly resisted the urge to add a new package likecom.google.common.timein favor of both improvingjava.timeas well as ThreeTenExtrakluever commentedon Oct 27, 2025
A colleague reminded me of https://github.com/google/mug/tree/master/mug/src/main/java/com/google/mu/time which is authored by another Googler (and Guava contributor), @fluentfuture --- that might serve your needs.
