Datetime format. Discussion.

Open zubrabubra opened this issue 9 years ago • 0 comments

There are number of ways one can format the dates, and number will be invented after this defect will be resolved. Among them most popular are Unix time, ISO8601, RFC 3339, and many more.

Current implementation heavily uses ISO8601 which has been selected by many open APIs, thus it could be treated as a proper decision. While unix epoch time is more convenient in m2m protocols due to the fact that it's all about machine 2 machine, however the biggest argument against is increased efforts during debugging process.

Changing the format will also require additional development to be done on client side.
