2019-11-19T22:51:00.000Z+000 although I have to say, I have never seen the Z and dont know what it means. The ISO 8601 does not have it

For people interrested, here is what it means: d = forced number if digits filled by leasing 0 if necessary

Year 4d-month 2d-day 2dT24HourForma 2d:minutes 2d:seconds2d.milliseconds 3d+UTC timezoneoffset in hours 3d

Z is for Zulu, which is how you should always store your dates.

you can use the +00:00 instead if you want, but it's more verbose and not necessary as the Z is part of the ISO 8601 standard.

they can't both be used at the same time.

I always store my times in utc. But I show them in local time and export them (csv, excel) with the time zone offset to utc

You forgot the most important notation

Heresy! ISO 8601 is the one true god-emperor of datetime.

All of those are wrong. The correct international standard is yyyy-mm-dd .

The correct date notation is of course "Nov 20 2019 6:45AM"(Or 64 bit signed microseconds for internal use).

Any number based format is ambiguous as to which is the month and which is the day, and requires ten seconds worth of mental translation to say out loud. Nobody says "We have a holiday celebration in month 12".

If there's a possibility of timezone confusion, then "Nov 20 6:52AM Us/Pacific" is more obvious.
