Serialize and Deserialize Joda Time in Gson

register a TypeAdapter with GSON to wrap the use of a Joda preconfigured Formatters :

    public static Gson gsonDateTime() {
    Gson gson = new GsonBuilder()
            .registerTypeAdapter(DateTime.class, new JsonSerializer<DateTime>() {
                @Override
                public JsonElement serialize(DateTime json, Type typeOfSrc, JsonSerializationContext context) {
                    return new JsonPrimitive(ISODateTimeFormat.dateTime().print(json));
                }
            })
            .registerTypeAdapter(DateTime.class, new JsonDeserializer<DateTime>() {
                @Override
                public DateTime deserialize(JsonElement json, Type typeOfT, JsonDeserializationContext context) throws JsonParseException {
                    DateTime dt = ISODateTimeFormat.dateTime().parseDateTime(json.getAsString());
                    return dt;
                }
            })
            .create();
    return gson;
}

Convert Joda-Time `DateTime` with timezone

DateTime dateTimePlus2 = DateTime.parse("2015-07-09T05:10:00+02:00");
System.out.println(dateTimePlus2);

DateTime dateTimeUTC = dateTimePlus2.withZone(DateTimeZone.UTC);
System.out.println(dateTimeUTC);

LocalDateTime localDateTimeUTC = dateTimeUTC.toLocalDateTime();
System.out.println(localDateTimeUTC);
