RFC 3339 vs. ISO 8601

Comparison between some valid RFC 3339 and ISO 8601 date formats

Notes:

• This table is not exhaustive.
• Both formats are case-insensitive so every T, W, P, R, and Z could be t, w, p, r, or z respectively.
• RFC 3339 allows for other characters to replace the T but only gives examples using a space character.
• ISO 8601 allows decimal fractions for the smallest time value. These are just represented by ,5 and .5 due to a limitation of the formatter.
• ISO 8601 prefers commas to dots for decimal separation but they are interchangeable in all formats.
• The format key is given below the table.
