amanneedsamaid @sopuli.xyz Nothing beats ISO 8601, YYYY-MM-DD
251 10 Replymikazuki @lemmy.world RFC 3339! ISO 8601 has way too many weird formats that are allowed like today would be 2023-W41-2. See for example here.

pingveno @lemmy.ml RFC 3339 when you need the basics, ISO 8601 when you need something more niche. Some applications genuinely need to view the year as weeks and days of the week instead of months and days of the month.

3 1 ReplyOokami38 @sh.itjust.works Does the T just signify that Time starts after it? I've never really examined the full UTC format, YYYY-MM-DD has always been enough for my uses.
2 0 ReplyFlumsy @feddit.de The T stands for the timezone.
2 0 ReplyOokami38 @sh.itjust.works Aaaah that makes a lot of sense.
