Custom Date Formats vs ISO 8601
Developers should learn custom date formats when building applications that require localized date displays, such as international websites or mobile apps, or when integrating with external systems that use non-standard date representations meets developers should learn and use iso 8601 timestamps to ensure interoperability and avoid errors in date/time handling, especially in apis, databases, and international applications. Here's our take.
Custom Date Formats
