ISO Dates (Year and Month)

ISO dates can be represented without including the day (YYYY-MM).

Example

const d = new Date(“2015-03”);

The result above will vary between February 28 and March 01 depending on the time zone.

ISO Dates (Only Year)

ISO dates can be expressed without specifying the month and day (YYYY).

Example

const d = new Date(“2015”);
The specified time zone will influence the outcome above, ranging between December 31, 2014, and January 1, 2015.

ISO Dates (Date-Time)

ISO dates can include additional details such as hours, minutes, and seconds in the format (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ):

Example

const d = new Date(“2015-03-25T12:00:00Z”);

The date and time are separated by a capital T.

UTC time is indicated by a capital letter Z.

To adjust the time relative to UTC, omit the Z and add +HH:MM or -HH:MM instead:

Example

const d = new Date(“2015-03-25T12:00:00-06:30”);
UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) is synonymous with GMT (Greenwich Mean Time).
Excluding T or Z in a date-time string may yield different outcomes across various browsers.
