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

Doesn'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

Hmm I don't get the T there tbh

[–] SirQuackTheDuck@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It makes the difference between M meaning month or M meaning minute. Small differences.

[–] Killing_Spark@feddit.de 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

So it's redundant in P1DT4H? Or is it a mandatory separator between ymd and hms?

[–] SirQuackTheDuck@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

It's mandatory, which also makes it nice and predictable.
