strdt
strdt is a compact, string-based date-time representation used in some software systems to store timestamp values with fixed length and predictable lexicographic ordering. It aims to combine human readability with efficient storage and fast comparisons, making it suitable for logging, indexing, and message headers where compactness and ordering are important.
The canonical strdt format encodes date and time in a fixed-length string, typically following an ISO-like convention.
Benefits of strdt include straightforward lexical sorting, constant-time comparisons, and predictable storage. Its fixed length simplifies
In practice, strdt is used as a lightweight timestamp in log lines, event streams, and compact data
