      Some ISO8601 formats are good, but some are unreadable (like 20240607T054831Z for date and time).

        The ones without separators tend to be for server/client exchange though.

          I agree but they’re hard to read at a glance when debugging and there’s lots of them :)

          Having said that, a lot of client-server communications use Unix timestamps though, which are even harder to read at a glance.

            At least it’s human readable and not protobuf 😬 * though the transport channel doesn’t really matter it could be formatted this way anyhow.
