class method

Date.xmlschema

Date.xmlschema(string='-4712-01-01'[, start=Date::ITALY], limit: 128) → date

Creates a new Date object by parsing from a string according to some typical XML Schema formats.

Example
Date.xmlschema('2001-02-03')      #=> #<Date: 2001-02-03 ...>

Raise an ArgumentError when the string length is longer than limit. You can stop this check by passing ‘limit: nil`, but note that it may take a long time to parse.
