NSDateFormatter for datetime

Question

I have a string which is coming from an API that I need to convert into a NSDate but I'm uncertain which dateFormat to use for NSDateFormatter.

let openedAt = "2015-06-30T12:34:00.000-04:00" // coming from API

let formatter = NSDateFormatter()
formatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd..." // not sure what format to use here

if let date = formatter.dateFromString(openedAt) {
    println(date)
} else {
    println("NOPE!")
}

try

 "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZZZZZ"

The Date Format Patterns guide suggests that "S" is the format specifier for fractions of seconds.

Isn't that missing the UTC time offset? – Duncan C Jul 09 '15 at 16:26
Why was this answer accepted? It is wrong. It's missing the needed format for the timezone. – rmaddy Jul 09 '15 at 19:09
No, you need to put back the fractional seconds. – rmaddy Jul 10 '15 at 05:34
now my console output is `teh output==2015-06-30 16:34:00 +0000`, this is fine bro – Anbu.Karthik Jul 10 '15 at 05:44
