TOML Datetime
TOML datetimes support four RFC 3339-based types: offset date-time, local date-time, local date, and local time.
Purpose
To represent time in TOML configuration in a standard format, supporting timezone offsets and timezone-free local times.
Mechanism
Offset: 2023-01-01T12:00:00+08:00; local date-time: 2023-01-01T12:00:00; local date: 2023-01-01; local time: 12:00:00. Fractional seconds are supported.
Use cases
