What is Unix Time?
Unix time (also known as Epoch time or POSIX time) is a system for describing a point in time. It is the number of seconds that have elapsed since the Unix Epoch, which is defined as January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC.
This system is widely used in programming and computing because it provides a simple way to store and manipulate date and time information. Unix timestamps are timezone-independent and easy to compare, making them ideal for databases and APIs.
Common Use Cases
- Database timestamp storage
- API response timestamps
- Log file timestamps
- Session expiration times
- Event scheduling systems
