更多参考：NSDate and NSString conversion and vice verse

One quick question is about how to convert NSString to NSDate in format "2012-07-21T01:59:59.234Z". After google much, finally I got answer like below:

+(NSDate*) stringToDate:(NSString *)string {
   static NSDateFormatter *formatter = nil;
   if (!formatter) {
      formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
      //we have NSTimeZone setting
      [formatter setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone timeZoneWithAbbreviation:@"UTC"]];
      [formatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy'-'MM'-'dd'T'HH':'mm':'ss.SSS'Z'"];
   }
   return [formatter dateFromString:string];
}

If you don't make formatter as static, please remember to release it after use it.

NSDate to NSString, we need NSDateFormatter:

- (NSString*) dateToString:(NSDate *)date {
   static NSDateFormatter *formatter = nil;
   if (!formatter) {
      formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];  
      [formatter setFormatterBehavior:NSDateFormatterBehavior10_4];
      formatter.dateStyle = NSDateFormatterShortStyle;
      formatter.timeStyle = NSDateFormatterShortStyle;
   }
   return [formatter stringFromDate:date];
}
