Description

This is still a working in progress

Need to do Unit Tests and search for more use cases

Match partial cases of 8601 such as:

  • missing offset
  • missing time
  • only date and offset
  • nano present or not (and being from 1 digit to 9 digits)

Also properly captures the data by capturing only: year, month, date, hour, minute, second, nano and offset (be it 'Z' or '+02:00' or' +0200')
