MassimoC commented 6 years ago

In the Data Contracts section we should provide which format to be used for datetime

The wild west of datetime formats :). Personally I prefer an ISO 8601 notation, like 2012-04-23T18:25:43.511Z.

I've also used millisecond since 1970, but I find it cumbersome as a consumer, since I always need to convert it to make it readable.

Agreeing with @samneirinck, feels like the best approach to me.
