(The T is literal, YYYY is a full year number, MM and DD are month and day numbers, hh, mm and ss are hours, minutes and seconds, with .zzz as milliseconds and Z as time-zone offset. The T and following time are optional. If they are omitted, the date is handled as the start of UTC's day, which falls on other dates in some time-zones. When T is included, the :ss.zzz or just .zzz part can be omitted. With or without those, the zone offset can be omitted, in which case local time is used.) For example:</p> <pre class="qml"> </pre> <p>To read a date value returned from a C++ extension class, use <a href="qml-qtqml-qt.html#formatDate-method">Qt.formatDate()</a> and <a href="qml-qtqml-qt.html#formatDateTime-method">Qt.formatDateTime()</a>.</p> <p>When integrating with C++, note that any QDate or QDateTime value <a href="qtqml-cppintegration-data.html">passed into QML from C++</a> is automatically converted into a <code>date</code> value, and vice-versa. Note, however, that converting a QDate will result in UTC's start of the day, which falls on a different date in some other time-zones. It is usually more robust to convert the QDate via a QDateTime explicitly, specifying local-time or a relevant time-zone and selecting a time of day (such as noon) that reliably exists (daylight-savings transitions skip an hour, near one end or the other of a day).</p> <p>This basic type is provided by the QML language. It can be implicitly converted to a <a href="qml-qtqml-date.html">Date</a> object.</p> </div> <p><b>See also </b><a href="qml-qtqml-date.html">QML Date object</a> and <a href="qtqml-typesystem-basictypes.html">QML Basic Types</a>.</p> <!-- @@@date --> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="footer"> <p> <acronym title="Copyright">©</acronym> 2019 The Qt Company Ltd.
