Understanding Unix Timestamps
A Unix timestamp, also known as Epoch time, is a system for describing a point in time. It is the number of seconds that have elapsed since 00:00:00 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), Thursday, 1 January 1970. It's widely used in operating systems and file formats.
- Universal Standard: It's a single number that is the same no matter where you are in the world, avoiding timezone complexities.
- Database Friendly: Timestamps are easy to store and index in databases, making them efficient for sorting and querying.
- Developer's Choice: Many APIs and programming languages use Unix timestamps for handling dates and times.
