Why convert date and time to Unix timestamp?
Unix timestamps are essential for programming, databases, and system administration as they provide a standardized way to represent time across different systems and timezones. They're commonly used in APIs, logging systems, file timestamps, and for time-based calculations since they represent the number of seconds since January 1, 1970, UTC.
What is a Unix timestamp?
A Unix timestamp (also called epoch time or POSIX time) is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC. It's a simple integer format that makes it easy to store, compare, and calculate time differences across different programming languages and systems, regardless of timezone or locale settings.
