Why Do These Dates Result In 'Invalid Dates' After Being Fetched From MongoDb?

javascript node.js mongodb mongoose momentjs

2000-02-14 00:00:00.000Z is not a valid date format in Javascript.

YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.sssZ

Ref date.

It is missing the T as in time element.

Try this in your console:

>> (new Date("2000-02-14 00:00:00.000Z")).toString()<< "Invalid Date"

vs.

>> (new Date("2000-02-14T00:00:00.000Z")).toString()<< "Mon Feb 14 2000 01:00:00 GMT+0100 (CET)"

Note, some browsers accept the former, such as Chrome, but it is non standard and by that follows pain as usual.

Firefox is rather strict on date.
