What is a Unix Timestamp?
A Unix timestamp (also known as Unix time, POSIX time, or epoch) is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 (UTC). It's a way to represent a specific moment in time as a single integer.
Why Use Unix Timestamps?
- Programming: Most programming languages use timestamps for date/time operations
- Databases: Storing dates as integers is more efficient than storing strings
- APIs: Many APIs return dates as timestamps for consistency
- Timezone Handling: Timestamps are timezone-independent by default
Timestamp Formats
- Seconds: 10 digits (e.g., 1704067200) - Standard Unix timestamp
- Milliseconds: 13 digits (e.g., 1704067200000) - Used in JavaScript
Common Timestamp Values
- 0 = January 1, 1970 (Unix Epoch)
- 1000000000 = September 9, 2001
- 10000000000 = April 26, 2286
