Frequently asked questions
Why are seconds and milliseconds different lengths?
Seconds count whole seconds since epoch; milliseconds count thousandths of a second, so the number is longer.
Is the clock server-synced?
No. It uses your browser and device clock.
Which timestamp should I use for APIs?
Check the API docs. Many APIs use seconds; JavaScript Date uses milliseconds.
