5Fields

StandardFormat

Explanation will appear here.

Supports *, */n, lists, ranges, stepped ranges and numeric values.

Supported cron syntax

The parser validates common five-field cron syntax: wildcard, step, list, range, stepped range and numeric values.

Platform differences

Cron implementations vary. Some systems support extra fields or special characters that this parser intentionally does not accept. Timezone behavior is controlled by the scheduler, not the five-field expression.
