JavaScript date input formats can generally be categorized into three types:
|
Type |
Example |
|
ISO Date |
“2015-03-25” (The International Standard) |
|
Short Date |
“03/25/2015” |
|
Long Date |
“Mar 25 2015” or “25 Mar 2015” |
| The ISO format adheres to a strict standard in JavaScript, while other formats may vary and could be browser-specific. |
Regardless of the input format, JavaScript will typically output dates in full text string format by default.

ISO 8601 serves as the international standard for representing dates and times.
The YYYY-MM-DD syntax, part of ISO 8601, is the recommended date format in JavaScript.
| const d = new Date(“2015-03-25”); |
|
The resulting computed date will vary based on your time zone. Consequently, the output may range between March 24 and March 25, depending on your local time zone. |
