• ISO 8601 is paywalled
  • RFC allows a space instead of a T (e.g. 2020-12-09 16:09:…) which is nicer to read.

    The difference:

    2023-12-12T21:18Z is ISO 8601 format

    2023-12-12 21:18 is RFC 3339 Format

    A small change

      I definitely don’t agree that the RFC is easier to read, the two numbers can appear to be one at a quick glance without a separator.

        But there is a separator between the numbers: the same one that also very reliably separates the words in this comment

      ISO 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.
