ISODateYYYYMMDDTHHmmssZ
ISODateYYYYMMDDTHHmmssZ is a standard format for representing date and time in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). It is widely used in computing and data interchange to ensure consistency and avoid ambiguity. The format is defined by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and is part of the ISO 8601 standard.
The format consists of the following components:
- MM: Two-digit month (01 for January, 12 for December)
- DD: Two-digit day of the month (01 to 31)
- T: Literal character 'T' used to separate the date and time components
- HH: Two-digit hour (00 to 23)
- mm: Two-digit minute (00 to 59)
- ss: Two-digit second (00 to 59)
- Z: Literal character 'Z' indicating that the time is in UTC
For example, the date and time "2023-10-05T14:48:00Z" represents October 5, 2023, at 14:48:00 UTC.
This format is used in various contexts, including:
- Timestamps in databases and logs
- HTTP headers for date and time information
The ISODateYYYYMMDDTHHmmssZ format is preferred over other date and time representations because it is unambiguous, language-independent,
