Q: Java ZonedDateTime min/max offset I was just wondering what is the max offset in the java ZonedDateTime
When i do:
ZonedDatetime.parse("2017-03-13T00:00:00.0:+23:00")

i get a parse exception saying range can't be more than -18/+18
In that case how do we parse dates that have offsets that are more than 18 hours behind/ahead?

A: Such offsets don't exist. Just take a look at the list of UTC offsets: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UTC_time_offsets
As you can see the offsets reach from -12 to +14. There is no need for ZonedDatetime.parse to support other offsets.
