I was going through TimeZone page at joda website and I came across this
-05:00 EST
-05:00 EST5EDT
-05:00 Etc/GMT+5
I just wanted to know what does that EST5EDT means, I generally use EST so was just wanted to know about it.
I have searched about it and found nothing before posting the question.
EST – eastern Standard Time wihtout day light.
EDT – Eastern Standard Time with Day Light Saving Time
This is the short id of TimeZone that is used.
EST5EDT means either in EST or EDT ; value of offset in hours would be the same i.e. -5 hours.
