ISO 8601 is a standard that provides a way to represent dates and times in a consistent and unambiguous way. One part of this standard is the representation of durations, which are used to specify a length of time.
An ISO 8601 duration is a string of characters that represents a duration in a specific format. The format consists of a combination of years, months, days, hours, minutes, and seconds, represented in a specific order and separated by a letter “T”. For example, the duration of 1 year, 2 months, 3 days, 4 hours, 5 minutes, and 6 seconds would be represented as “P1Y2M3DT4H5M6S”.
The “P” at the beginning of the string stands for “period”, and indicates that this is a duration. The “T” between the date portion and the time portion of the string indicates the start of the time portion. If any of the fields are zero, they can be omitted. For example, the duration of 1 day can be represented as “P1D”.
ISO 8601 durations can be useful for representing a length of time in a standardized and unambiguous way, and can be used in a variety of applications such as scheduling, billing, and data storage.
