Introduction to Epoch Time Conversion in Java

In programming, especially when dealing with systems or data that track event timings, you might encounter timestamps in the form of epoch time. Epoch time, commonly known as Unix timestamp, is the total number of seconds (or milliseconds) that have elapsed since January 1, 1970, at 00:00:00 UTC. In Java, there are several methods to convert epoch time into a more human-readable date format. This guide will guide you through some of these methods using different Java classes.
