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-up26·2 years 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-squareSirQuackTheDuck@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·2 years 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-up1·2 years agoIt makes the difference between M meaning month or M meaning minute. Small differences.
minus-squareKilling_Spark@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoSo it’s redundant in P1DT4H? Or is it a mandatory separator between ymd and hms?
minus-squareSirQuackTheDuck@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoIt’s mandatory, which also makes it nice and predictable.
minus-squareEnderMB@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up9arrow-down1·2 years 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.

Hmm I don’t get the T there tbh
