parse(p1 = v1, p2 = v2, p3 = v3) public

Parses the given representation of date and time, and creates a date object. This method does not function as a validator.

If the optional second argument is true and the detected year is in the range “00” to “99”, makes it full.

DateTime.parse('2001-02-03T04:05:06+07:00')
                          #=> #<DateTime: 2001-02-03T04:05:06+07:00 ...>
DateTime.parse('20010203T040506+0700')
                          #=> #<DateTime: 2001-02-03T04:05:06+07:00 ...>
DateTime.parse('3rd Feb 2001 04:05:06 PM')
                          #=> #<DateTime: 2001-02-03T16:05:06+00:00 ...>
