What is Unix Timestamp?
Unix timestamp is the total seconds from January 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC to the specified time. It is a standard way to represent time, widely used in computer systems and programming.
Timestamp Types
Common timestamps include second-level (10 digits), millisecond-level (13 digits), and microsecond-level (16 digits). This tool uses second-level timestamps, which is the most commonly used format.
Timezone Handling
Timestamps are timezone-agnostic and always based on UTC. When converting to local time, timezone offset needs to be considered. Different regions may have different daylight saving time rules.
Application Scenarios
Timestamps are commonly used in database storage, logging, API communication, cache expiration, and other scenarios. They facilitate time calculations, comparisons, and storage, serving as a universal standard for time processing.
