Attributes

Remarks

Gets the current millisecond instant of the source.

This returns the millisecond-based instant, measured from 1970-01-01T00:00Z (UTC). This is equivalent to the definition of System#currentTimeMillis().

Most applications should avoid this method and use Instant to represent an instant on the time-line rather than a raw millisecond value. This method is provided to allow the use of the source in high performance use cases where the creation of an object would be unacceptable.
