Generation

# ISO 8601 Date Format **Format:** `YYYY-MM-DD` (e.g., 2024-03-15) for dates, and `YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss±HH:mm` (e.g., 2024-03-15T14:30:00+00:00) for timestamps. **Why it matters:** This standard eliminates ambiguity between regional formats (like US 03/15/2024 vs European 15/03/2024), sorts correctly as text, and ensures consistent data exchange across systems, time zones, and international borders. It's the universal language for dates in computing, databases, and APIs.
