DateTime.xmlschema

DateTime.xmlschema(string='-4712-01-01T00:00:00+00:00'[, start=Date::ITALY], limit: 128) → datetime

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

Example
DateTime.xmlschema('2001-02-03T04:05:06+07:00')
                          #=> #<DateTime: 2001-02-03T04:05:06+07:00 ...>

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.
