Package com.datastax.driver.extras.codecs.jdk8 Description

This package contains a collection of convenience TypeCodec instances useful for serializing between CQL types and Java 8 types, such as the ones from the java.time API and java.util.Optional.

Note that, while the driver remains globally compatible with older JDKs, classes in this package require the presence of a Java 8 or higher at runtime.
