ISO 8601 is paywalled RFC allows a space instead of a T (e.g. 2020-12-09 16:09:…) which is nicer to read.
minus-squaretreadful@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up25·1 year agoISO 8601 also allows for some weird shit. Like 2023-W01-1 which actually means 2022-12-31. There’s a lot of cruft in that standard.
minus-squareEnderMB@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up9arrow-down1·1 year agoThis is the killer for me. Most people promote ISO 8601 as a “definitive” date structure, when it actually supports a lot of different formats. What they actually want is usually RFC 3339.
minus-squareSirQuackTheDuck@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·1 year agoDoesn’t the ISO also includes time periods? Because if it does, those are amazing. Without any explanation, you should be able to decypher these periods just by looking at them: P1Y P6M2D P1DT4H PT42M
minus-squareSirQuackTheDuck@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·11 months agoIt makes the difference between M meaning month or M meaning minute. Small differences.
minus-squareKilling_Spark@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up1·11 months agoSo it’s redundant in P1DT4H? Or is it a mandatory separator between ymd and hms?
minus-squareSirQuackTheDuck@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·11 months agoIt’s mandatory, which also makes it nice and predictable.

Hmm I don’t get the T there tbh
