LocalDateTime is a class in the Java programming language that represents a date and time without a time zone. It combines both date and time into a single object, allowing developers to work with specific moments in time easily. This class is part of the java.time package, introduced in Java 8, and is useful for applications that require precise date and time manipulation. With LocalDateTime, you can perform various operations, such as adding or subtracting time, comparing dates, and formatting output. It is particularly helpful for applications that need to handle local dates and times, such as scheduling events or logging timestamps without considering time zones.
