What is this date format? 2011-08-12T20:17:46.384Z

by

The T is just a literal to separate the date from the time, and the Z means “zero hour offset” also known as “Zulu time” (UTC). If your strings always have a “Z” you can use:

SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat(
    "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z'", Locale.US);
format.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));

Or using Joda Time, you can use ISODateTimeFormat.dateTime().
