## org.jivesoftware.util
Class FastDateFormat

    java.lang.Object
      org.jivesoftware.util.FastDateFormat

    public class FastDateFormat

extends Object

Similar to `SimpleDateFormat`, but faster and thread-safe. Only formatting is supported, but all patterns are compatible with SimpleDateFormat.

Note, this class is from the open source Tea project (http://sourceforge.net/projects/teatrove/).
