This library failed to parse these formats.

Interesting. I've never seen commas used for the nanosecond part. Is that in the iso8601 spec?

btubbs commented 3 years ago

Seems like it is. But this library is similar to most in not supporting the comma. Found discussion here. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20699705/why-does-the-iso-8601-specification-appear-to-be-universally-ignored-when-it-com

I'll update this issue to be a feature request for supporting commas as an additional decimal separator.

@btubbs go 1.17 supports commas

The package now accepts comma "," as a separator for fractional seconds when parsing and formatting time. For example, the following time layouts are now accepted:
