How to compare two dates in Java 8?

package com.java2novice.datetime;

import java.time.LocalDate;

public class CompareDateEx {

	public static void main(String[] args) {

		// create custom date objects
		LocalDate dtObj1 = LocalDate.of(2015, 12, 15);
        LocalDate dtObj2 = LocalDate.of(2016, 01, 15);

        System.out.println("First date: "+dtObj1);
        System.out.println("Second date: "+dtObj2);

        boolean result = dtObj1.isAfter(dtObj2);
        System.out.println("is first date after second date?: "+result);

        result = dtObj2.isAfter(dtObj1);
        System.out.println("is second date after first date?: "+result);

        result = dtObj1.isBefore(dtObj2);
        System.out.println("is first date before second date?: "+result);

        // you can use equals  method on date objects
        result = dtObj1.isEqual(dtObj2);
        System.out.println("is first date equals to second date?: "+result);

        // compare two dates with comareTo method
        if(dtObj1.compareTo(dtObj2) > 0) {
        		System.out.println("first date is after second date");
        } else if(dtObj1.compareTo(dtObj2) < 0) {
        		System.out.println("first date is before second date");
        } else if(dtObj1.compareTo(dtObj2) == 0) {
        		System.out.println("first date is equals to second date");
        }
	}
}

First date: 2015-12-15
Second date: 2016-01-15
is first date after second date?: false
is second date after first date?: true
is first date before second date?: true
is first date equals to second date?: false
first date is before second date
