Re: serializing an NSTimestamp

If you want the string to be easily human readable NSTimestampFormatter is probably the way to go. But if you don't care about that why not just do something like this:

//to String
NSTimestamp outTimestamp = new NSTimestamp();
String tsString = Long.toString(outTimestamp.getTime());

//from string
NSTimestamp inTimestamp = new NSTimestamp(Long.decode(tsString).longValue());

Hell, I suppose NSTimestampFormatter would be yet ANOTHER way of doing
this.

But in this case, I really do want to serialize it for storage in an
external store that only accepts Strings (the details do not matter).
I
guess NSTimestampFormatter might be one easy way of doing this. Is there
a better one?

What's the right/easiest way to serialize an NSTimestamp to and
from a String?

I've never done this before; there seem to be so many different
ways, I'm 
not sure the appropriate technique to use.
