 methods for `target` are `getTarget()` and `setTarget()`. You can also use the `setOptions()` method
 which accepts an array of all options.
 
+## DateTime
+
+Converts `$value` to a `DateTime` or `DateTimeImmutable` instance.
+
+### Supported Options
+
+The following options are supported for `Zend\Filter\DateTime`:
+
+- `immutable`: `true` if a `DateTimeImmutable` instance should be returned,
+  `false` (the default) if `DateTime` is expected. Methods for getting/setting
+  this option are available: `isImmutable()` and `setImmutable(bool)`.
+
+### Basic usage
+
+```php
+$filter = new Zend\Filter\DateTime();
+$dt = $filter->filter('2019-04-24T14:33:12+02:00');
+// $dt is a DateTime instance with the above date, time and timezone
+
+$filter = new Zend\Filter\DateTime(true);
+$dt = $filter->filter('2019-04-24T14:34:34+02:00');
+// $dt is a DateTimeImmutable instance with the above date, time and timezone
+```
+
 ## Digits
 
 Returns the string `$value`, removing all but digits.
