# ISO 8601 Date Formatting **ISO 8601** is an international standard for representing dates and times in a clear, unambiguous way. ## Basic Format - **Date**: `YYYY-MM-DD` (e.g., `2024-03-15`) - **Date and time**: `YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS` (e.g., `2024-03-15T14:30:00`) - **With timezone**: Add `Z` for UTC or `±HH:MM` for offset (e.g., `2024-03-15T14:30:00Z` or `2024-03-15T14:30:00+05:30`) ## Common Misconception **Misconception**: "ISO 8601 only allows the format with hyphens and colons." **Reality**: ISO 8601 actually allows both extended format (with separators like `2024-03-15`) and basic format (without separators like `20240315`). While the extended format is more human-readable and commonly used, the compact basic format is equally valid and often used in systems where brevity matters, like filenames or databases.
