        Instant instant2 = Instant.parse("2017-12-03T10:15:30.00Z");
        System.out.println("instant2 = "+instant2);
       
        /*
         * Parameters:
         *
         * otherInstant - the other instant to compare to, not null
         *
         * Returns:
         *
         * the comparator value, negative if less, positive if greater
         */
        int value = instant1.compareTo(instant2);
        System.out.println(value);
       
        /*
         * Parameters:
         *
         * otherInstant - the other instant, null returns false
         *
         * Returns:
         *
         * true if the other instant is equal to this one
         */
        boolean isEqual = instant1.equals(instant2);
        System.out.println(isEqual);
       
       
    }

}

Output

instant1 = 2014-12-03T10:15:30Z
instant2 = 2017-12-03T10:15:30Z
